RIDGE HOUSE 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 RIDGE HOUSE sales from July 1998 and September 2009 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 July 1998 sale was for 141% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 141% above the HPI over time, until the September 2009 sale, where it rises to 158% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 158% above the HPI.

What might RIDGE HOUSE be worth now?

RIDGE HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £1,329,561.

This is based on house price inflation of 68.3%, between September 2009 and June 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 68.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for RIDGE HOUSE of £790,000 on 10th September 2009. For the value to have increased from £790,000 to £1,329,561 over the sixteen years and three months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of RIDGE HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The September 2009 sale price of £790,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of RIDGE HOUSE has not materially changed since September 2009.
