RECTORY 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 RECTORY COTTAGE sales from May 1997 and September 1999 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 May 1997 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the September 1999 sale, where it rises to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.

What might RECTORY COTTAGE be worth now?

RECTORY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £583,002.

This is based on house price inflation of 272.5%, between September 1999 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 272.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for RECTORY COTTAGE of £156,500 on 23rd September 1999. For the value to have increased from £156,500 to £583,002 over the 26 years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of RECTORY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The September 1999 sale price of £156,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of RECTORY COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 1999.
