8 LORTON LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 LORTON LANE sales from January 2000 and September 2013 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 January 2000 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the September 2013 sale, where it rises to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might 8 LORTON LANE be worth now?

8 LORTON LANE might now be worth an estimated £321,819.

This is based on house price inflation of 58.9%, between September 2013 and February 2025, for semi-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 58.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 LORTON LANE of £202,500 on 27th September 2013. For the value to have increased from £202,500 to £321,819 over the twelve years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
