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 February 1998 and May 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 October 1999 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it falls to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might ORCHARD COTTAGE be worth now?

ORCHARD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £370,194.

This is based on house price inflation of 48.1%, between May 2014 and December 2024, 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 ORCHARD COTTAGE of £250,000 on 16th May 2014. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £370,194 over the nine years and five months to December 2024, 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 May 2014 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ORCHARD COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2014.
