ORCADIA COTTAGE 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 ORCADIA COTTAGE sales from March 2011 and July 2014 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 March 2011 sale was for 44% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% below the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it falls to 49% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% below the HPI.

What might ORCADIA COTTAGE be worth now?

ORCADIA COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £271,036.

This is based on house price inflation of 48.1%, between July 2014 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 48.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ORCADIA COTTAGE of £183,000 on 29th July 2014. For the value to have increased from £183,000 to £271,036 over the eleven years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ORCADIA COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The July 2014 sale price of £183,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ORCADIA COTTAGE has not materially changed since July 2014.
