OLD SMITHY 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 OLD SMITHY sales between February 2003 and April 2024 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 2017 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the April 2024 sale, where it falls to 44% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% below the HPI.

What might OLD SMITHY be worth now?

OLD SMITHY might now be worth an estimated £186,354.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.1%, between April 2024 and June 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 2.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OLD SMITHY of £182,500 on 16th April 2024. For the value to have increased from £182,500 to £186,354 over the ten months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OLD SMITHY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The April 2024 sale price of £182,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OLD SMITHY has not materially changed since April 2024.
