OLD STONES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two OLD STONES sales from May 2010 and April 2018 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 May 2010 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the April 2018 sale, where it falls to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.

What might OLD STONES be worth now?

OLD STONES might now be worth an estimated £356,979.

This is based on house price inflation of 21%, between April 2018 and February 2025, for 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 21% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OLD STONES of £294,950 on 4th April 2018. For the value to have increased from £294,950 to £356,979 over the seven years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OLD STONES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The April 2018 sale price of £294,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OLD STONES has not materially changed since April 2018.
