98 FIELD CLOSE 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 three 98 FIELD CLOSE sales between May 2003 and December 2023 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 2004 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the December 2023 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 98 FIELD CLOSE be worth now?

98 FIELD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £293,251.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.9%, between December 2023 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 2.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 98 FIELD CLOSE of £285,000 on 14th December 2023. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £293,251 over the two years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 98 FIELD CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The December 2023 sale price of £285,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
