TAIL END 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 TAIL END COTTAGE sales between October 1996 and August 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 December 1997 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the August 2020 sale, where it rises to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might TAIL END COTTAGE be worth now?

TAIL END COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £569,067.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.8%, between August 2020 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 19.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for TAIL END COTTAGE of £475,000 on 27th August 2020. For the value to have increased from £475,000 to £569,067 over the three years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of TAIL END COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The August 2020 sale price of £475,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of TAIL END COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2020.
