STAR 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 three STAR COTTAGE sales between September 1997 and April 2021 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 2006 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the April 2021 sale, where it rises to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might STAR COTTAGE be worth now?

STAR COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £574,884.

This is based on house price inflation of 15%, between April 2021 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 15% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for STAR COTTAGE of £500,000 on 15th April 2021. For the value to have increased from £500,000 to £574,884 over the four years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of STAR COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The April 2021 sale price of £500,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of STAR COTTAGE has not materially changed since April 2021.
