2 COUNTER CLOSE 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 three 2 COUNTER CLOSE sales between June 1996 and July 2017 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 2005 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the July 2017 sale, where it falls to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 2 COUNTER CLOSE be worth now?

2 COUNTER CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £486,526.

This is based on house price inflation of 24.8%, between July 2017 and March 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 24.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 COUNTER CLOSE of £390,000 on 19th July 2017. For the value to have increased from £390,000 to £486,526 over the eight years and four months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 COUNTER CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The July 2017 sale price of £390,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 COUNTER CLOSE has not materially changed since July 2017.
