WICKHAM 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 WICKHAM COTTAGE sales from August 2018 and March 2022 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 August 2018 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the March 2022 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might WICKHAM COTTAGE be worth now?

WICKHAM COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £468,722.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.9%, between March 2022 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 1.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WICKHAM COTTAGE of £460,000 on 11th March 2022. For the value to have increased from £460,000 to £468,722 over the three years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WICKHAM COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The March 2022 sale price of £460,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WICKHAM COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 2022.
