5 MELCHESTER 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 five 5 MELCHESTER CLOSE sales between January 2001 and May 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 March 2013 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might 5 MELCHESTER CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 27.4%, between May 2017 and May 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 27.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 MELCHESTER CLOSE of £199,000 on 18th May 2017. For the value to have increased from £199,000 to £253,602 over the nine years to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 MELCHESTER CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the Dorset local authority area.
