RIVENDELL 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 RIVENDELL sales from January 1997 and December 2003 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 1997 sale was for 48% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% above the HPI over time, until the December 2003 sale, where it rises to 54% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 54% above the HPI.

What might RIVENDELL be worth now?

RIVENDELL might now be worth an estimated £802,327.

This is based on house price inflation of 93.3%, between December 2003 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 93.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for RIVENDELL of £415,000 on 10th December 2003. For the value to have increased from £415,000 to £802,327 over the 21 years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of RIVENDELL has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The December 2003 sale price of £415,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of RIVENDELL has not materially changed since December 2003.
