HIGHMEAD 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 two HIGHMEAD sales from April 1999 and March 2016 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 1999 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it rises to 37% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% above the HPI.

What might HIGHMEAD be worth now?

HIGHMEAD might now be worth an estimated £714,041.

This is based on house price inflation of 31.6%, between March 2016 and July 2025, 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 31.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGHMEAD of £542,500 on 31st March 2016. For the value to have increased from £542,500 to £714,041 over the eight years and eight months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGHMEAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The March 2016 sale price of £542,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGHMEAD has not materially changed since March 2016.
