THE OLD SCHOOL 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 two THE OLD SCHOOL sales from January 2014 and May 2020 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 January 2014 sale was for 108% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 108% above the HPI over time, until the May 2020 sale, where it rises to 109% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 109% above the HPI.

What might THE OLD SCHOOL be worth now?

THE OLD SCHOOL might now be worth an estimated £709,939.

This is based on house price inflation of 22.9%, between May 2020 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 22.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD SCHOOL of £577,500 on 29th May 2020. For the value to have increased from £577,500 to £709,939 over the five years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE OLD SCHOOL has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The May 2020 sale price of £577,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD SCHOOL has not materially changed since May 2020.
