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 1997 and September 2013 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 1997 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the September 2013 sale, where it falls to 49% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% below the HPI.

What might THE OLD SMITHY be worth now?

THE OLD SMITHY might now be worth an estimated £271,248.

This is based on house price inflation of 54.8%, between September 2013 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 54.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD SMITHY of £175,250 on 27th September 2013. For the value to have increased from £175,250 to £271,248 over the twelve years and seven 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 September 2013 sale price of £175,250 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD SMITHY has not materially changed since September 2013.
