SUNNY 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 SUNNY COTTAGE sales from June 2002 and September 2020 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 June 2002 sale was for 30% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% above the HPI over time, until the September 2020 sale, where it falls to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.

What might SUNNY COTTAGE be worth now?

SUNNY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £599,386.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.9%, between September 2020 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 19.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SUNNY COTTAGE of £499,950 on 8th September 2020. For the value to have increased from £499,950 to £599,386 over the five years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SUNNY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The September 2020 sale price of £499,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SUNNY COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 2020.
