Land registry data shows three sales for KNAPP COTTAGE since 1st January 1995. The below table shows the price paid for the three sales, along with the average detached price in the Dorset local authority area for the corresponding sale date. Two of the three KNAPP COTTAGE sales were for below the average price, whilst one was for above the average price. The average price is sourced from the Office for National Statistics' House Price Index (HPI).
| Date | Price | HPI Price | Variation from HPI |
|---|---|---|---|
2025 12 SEP | £450,000 | £526,152 | 14% below HPI |
1998 28 AUG | £135,000 | £126,261 | 7% above HPI |
1996 30 AUG | £52,250 | £99,357 | 47% below HPI |
The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three KNAPP COTTAGE sales between August 1996 and September 2025 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 August 1998 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the September 2025 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

KNAPP COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £442,640.
This is based on house price deflation of 1.6%, between September 2025 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 1.6% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for KNAPP COTTAGE of £450,000 on 12th September 2025. For the value to have decreased from £450,000 to £442,640 over the one year and four months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:
