THE QUEST 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 QUEST sales from August 2008 and May 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 August 2008 sale was for 54% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% below the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, where it rises to 41% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% above the HPI.

What might THE QUEST be worth now?

THE QUEST might now be worth an estimated £745,259.

This is based on house price inflation of 58.2%, between May 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 58.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE QUEST of £471,000 on 31st May 2013. For the value to have increased from £471,000 to £745,259 over the twelve years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE QUEST has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The May 2013 sale price of £471,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE QUEST has not materially changed since May 2013.
