18 NEW CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 18 NEW CLOSE sales between August 2000 and December 2025 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 2015 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the December 2025 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 18 NEW CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price deflation of 0.7%, between December 2025 and April 2026, for terraced 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 0.7% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 NEW CLOSE of £227,500 on 18th December 2025. For the value to have decreased from £227,500 to £225,889 over the one year and eight months to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:
