THE BIELD 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 THE BIELD sales between August 2001 and November 2023 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 2006 sale was for 111% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 111% above the HPI over time, until the November 2023 sale, where it falls to 105% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 105% above the HPI.

What might THE BIELD be worth now?

THE BIELD might now be worth an estimated £1,070,313.

This is based on house price deflation of 2.7%, between November 2023 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 2.7% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for THE BIELD of £1,100,000 on 1st November 2023. For the value to have decreased from £1,100,000 to £1,070,313 over the eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE BIELD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The November 2023 sale price of £1,100,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE BIELD has not materially changed since November 2023.
