TOPAZ 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 TOPAZ COTTAGE sales from April 1999 and February 2024 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 1999 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the February 2024 sale, where it falls to 39% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% below the HPI.

What might TOPAZ COTTAGE be worth now?

TOPAZ COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £323,030.

This is based on house price inflation of 3.4%, between February 2024 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 3.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for TOPAZ COTTAGE of £312,500 on 23rd February 2024. For the value to have increased from £312,500 to £323,030 over the one year to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of TOPAZ COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The February 2024 sale price of £312,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of TOPAZ COTTAGE has not materially changed since February 2024.
