THE RETREAT Sold Prices

THE RETREAT 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 RETREAT sales from October 1995 and December 2015 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 October 1995 sale was for 50% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% above the HPI over time, until the December 2015 sale, where it falls to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.

What might THE RETREAT be worth now?

THE RETREAT might now be worth an estimated £633,474.

This is based on house price inflation of 33.4%, between December 2015 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 33.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE RETREAT of £475,000 on 18th December 2015. For the value to have increased from £475,000 to £633,474 over the ten years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE RETREAT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The December 2015 sale price of £475,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE RETREAT has not materially changed since December 2015.
