ORCHARD 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 three ORCHARD COTTAGE sales between August 1997 and November 2005 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 June 2003 sale was for 36% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% above the HPI over time, until the November 2005 sale, where it falls to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.

What might ORCHARD COTTAGE be worth now?

ORCHARD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £688,372.

This is based on house price inflation of 75.4%, between November 2005 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 75.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ORCHARD COTTAGE of £392,500 on 30th November 2005. For the value to have increased from £392,500 to £688,372 over the twenty years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ORCHARD COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The November 2005 sale price of £392,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ORCHARD COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2005.
