THE HIDEAWAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE HIDEAWAY sales between December 1995 and March 2017 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 May 1998 sale was for 141% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 141% above the HPI over time, until the March 2017 sale, where it falls to 69% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 69% above the HPI.

What might THE HIDEAWAY be worth now?

THE HIDEAWAY might now be worth an estimated £576,233.

This is based on house price inflation of 34%, between March 2017 and February 2025, for semi-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 34% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE HIDEAWAY of £430,000 on 24th March 2017. For the value to have increased from £430,000 to £576,233 over the eight years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE HIDEAWAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The March 2017 sale price of £430,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE HIDEAWAY has not materially changed since March 2017.
