THE ROCKERY 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 ROCKERY sales from September 1997 and May 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 September 1997 sale was for 44% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% above the HPI over time, until the May 2015 sale, where it falls to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.

What might THE ROCKERY be worth now?

THE ROCKERY might now be worth an estimated £598,858.

This is based on house price inflation of 42.6%, between May 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 42.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE ROCKERY of £420,000 on 1st May 2015. For the value to have increased from £420,000 to £598,858 over the ten years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE ROCKERY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The May 2015 sale price of £420,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE ROCKERY has not materially changed since May 2015.
