SPRING 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 four SPRING COTTAGE sales between October 1999 and October 2015 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 July 2007 sale was for 104% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 104% above the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it rises to 115% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 115% above the HPI.

What might SPRING COTTAGE be worth now?

SPRING COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,122,387.

This is based on house price inflation of 34.1%, between October 2015 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 34.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SPRING COTTAGE of £837,000 on 29th October 2015. For the value to have increased from £837,000 to £1,122,387 over the eight years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SPRING COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The October 2015 sale price of £837,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SPRING COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2015.
