RECTORY 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 two RECTORY COTTAGE sales from March 2025 and April 2026 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 March 2025 sale was for 20% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% above the HPI over time, until the April 2026 sale, where it rises to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.
