THE OLDE COTTAGE 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 OLDE COTTAGE sales from April 2002 and June 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 April 2002 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the June 2020 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.

What might THE OLDE COTTAGE be worth now?

THE OLDE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £381,960.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.4%, between June 2020 and December 2024, 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 18.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLDE COTTAGE of £322,500 on 15th June 2020. For the value to have increased from £322,500 to £381,960 over the three years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE OLDE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The June 2020 sale price of £322,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLDE COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2020.
