THIMBLE 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 three THIMBLE COTTAGE sales between June 2003 and September 2021 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 2015 sale was for 48% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% below the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 47% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% below the HPI.

What might THIMBLE COTTAGE be worth now?

THIMBLE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £277,892.

This is based on house price inflation of 11.2%, between September 2021 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 11.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THIMBLE COTTAGE of £250,000 on 22nd September 2021. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £277,892 over the four years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THIMBLE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The September 2021 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THIMBLE COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 2021.
