THE OLD CHAPEL 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 OLD CHAPEL sales from February 1999 and August 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 February 1999 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.

What might THE OLD CHAPEL be worth now?

THE OLD CHAPEL might now be worth an estimated £379,200.

This is based on house price inflation of 45.8%, between August 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 45.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD CHAPEL of £260,000 on 19th August 2014. For the value to have increased from £260,000 to £379,200 over the eleven years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE OLD CHAPEL has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The August 2014 sale price of £260,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD CHAPEL has not materially changed since August 2014.
