PURBECK Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dacorum local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two PURBECK sales from December 2006 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 December 2006 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might PURBECK be worth now?

PURBECK might now be worth an estimated £777,642.

This is based on house price inflation of 55.5%, between July 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Dacorum local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 55.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for PURBECK of £500,000 on 31st July 2014. For the value to have increased from £500,000 to £777,642 over the eleven years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of PURBECK has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dacorum local authority area.
• The July 2014 sale price of £500,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of PURBECK has not materially changed since July 2014.
