ZIG ZAG 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 ZIG ZAG COTTAGE sales from October 1997 and July 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 October 1997 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the July 2015 sale, where it rises to 39% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% above the HPI.

What might ZIG ZAG COTTAGE be worth now?

ZIG ZAG COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £735,748.

This is based on house price inflation of 40.1%, between July 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 40.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ZIG ZAG COTTAGE of £525,000 on 3rd July 2015. For the value to have increased from £525,000 to £735,748 over the ten years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ZIG ZAG COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The July 2015 sale price of £525,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ZIG ZAG COTTAGE has not materially changed since July 2015.
