OAK TREE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four OAK TREE COTTAGE sales between October 2000 and April 2023 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the December 2004 sale was for 52% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% above the HPI over time, until the April 2023 sale, where it falls to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.

What might OAK TREE COTTAGE be worth now?

OAK TREE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £399,276.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.8%, between April 2023 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Dorset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 0.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OAK TREE COTTAGE of £396,000 on 19th April 2023. For the value to have increased from £396,000 to £399,276 over the two years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OAK TREE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The April 2023 sale price of £396,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OAK TREE COTTAGE has not materially changed since April 2023.
