The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 78 DORCHESTER ROAD sales between April 2000 and October 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 December 2017 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the October 2025 sale, where it rises to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.
