BLACKSMITH COTTAGE 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 BLACKSMITH COTTAGE sales between December 1998 and February 2018 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 July 2009 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might BLACKSMITH COTTAGE be worth now?

BLACKSMITH COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £355,686.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.6%, between February 2018 and May 2026, 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 18.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BLACKSMITH COTTAGE of £300,000 on 9th February 2018. For the value to have increased from £300,000 to £355,686 over the seven years and nine months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BLACKSMITH COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The February 2018 sale price of £300,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BLACKSMITH COTTAGE has not materially changed since February 2018.
