THE GLEN 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 GLEN sales from December 1996 and July 2012 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 1996 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the July 2012 sale, where it rises to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might THE GLEN be worth now?

THE GLEN might now be worth an estimated £440,600.

This is based on house price inflation of 57.4%, between July 2012 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 57.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE GLEN of £280,000 on 20th July 2012. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £440,600 over the eleven years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE GLEN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The July 2012 sale price of £280,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE GLEN has not materially changed since July 2012.
