THE FINCHES 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 THE FINCHES sales from July 2013 and December 2018 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 July 2013 sale was for 15% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% above the HPI over time, until the December 2018 sale, where it rises to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.

What might THE FINCHES be worth now?

THE FINCHES might now be worth an estimated £678,681.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.1%, between December 2018 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 19.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE FINCHES of £570,000 on 19th December 2018. For the value to have increased from £570,000 to £678,681 over the six years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE FINCHES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The December 2018 sale price of £570,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE FINCHES has not materially changed since December 2018.
