PONSONBY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two PONSONBY sales from January 1999 and December 2016 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 January 1999 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the December 2016 sale, where it rises to 189% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 189% above the HPI.

What might PONSONBY be worth now?

PONSONBY might now be worth an estimated £970,274.

This is based on house price inflation of 33.8%, between December 2016 and December 2024, for semi-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 33.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for PONSONBY of £725,000 on 12th December 2016. For the value to have increased from £725,000 to £970,274 over the eight years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of PONSONBY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The December 2016 sale price of £725,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of PONSONBY has not materially changed since December 2016.
