THE OLD SMITHY 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 SMITHY sales from June 1998 and April 2019 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 June 1998 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the April 2019 sale, where it falls to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.

What might THE OLD SMITHY be worth now?

THE OLD SMITHY might now be worth an estimated £532,316.

This is based on house price inflation of 21%, between April 2019 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 21% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD SMITHY of £440,000 on 12th April 2019. For the value to have increased from £440,000 to £532,316 over the six years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE OLD SMITHY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The April 2019 sale price of £440,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD SMITHY has not materially changed since April 2019.
