TELEPHONE EXCHANGE 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 TELEPHONE EXCHANGE sales between June 2007 and May 2014 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 2009 sale was for 56% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% below the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it falls to 61% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 61% below the HPI.

What might TELEPHONE EXCHANGE be worth now?

TELEPHONE EXCHANGE might now be worth an estimated £204,254.

This is based on house price inflation of 50.2%, between May 2014 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 50.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for TELEPHONE EXCHANGE of £136,000 on 2nd May 2014. For the value to have increased from £136,000 to £204,254 over the eleven years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of TELEPHONE EXCHANGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The May 2014 sale price of £136,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of TELEPHONE EXCHANGE has not materially changed since May 2014.
