WESTCROFT 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 five WESTCROFT sales between June 1996 and August 2016 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 2010 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.

What might WESTCROFT be worth now?

WESTCROFT might now be worth an estimated £327,945.

This is based on house price inflation of 31.2%, between August 2016 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 31.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WESTCROFT of £250,000 on 8th August 2016. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £327,945 over the nine years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WESTCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The August 2016 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WESTCROFT has not materially changed since August 2016.
