BUMBLEBEE COTTAGE 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 BUMBLEBEE COTTAGE sales between September 1995 and October 2014 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 April 2012 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it falls to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.

What might BUMBLEBEE COTTAGE be worth now?

BUMBLEBEE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £251,772.

This is based on house price inflation of 40.3%, between October 2014 and July 2025, 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 40.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BUMBLEBEE COTTAGE of £179,500 on 30th October 2014. For the value to have increased from £179,500 to £251,772 over the eleven years and three months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BUMBLEBEE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The October 2014 sale price of £179,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BUMBLEBEE COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2014.
