OWL 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 OWL COTTAGE sales from August 2002 and December 2013 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 August 2002 sale was for 65% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 65% above the HPI over time, until the December 2013 sale, where it falls to 56% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% above the HPI.

What might OWL COTTAGE be worth now?

OWL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £826,321.

This is based on house price inflation of 53%, between December 2013 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 53% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OWL COTTAGE of £540,000 on 4th December 2013. For the value to have increased from £540,000 to £826,321 over the twelve years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OWL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The December 2013 sale price of £540,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OWL COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2013.
