THYME COTTAGE 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 four THYME COTTAGE sales between November 1997 and September 2015 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 2009 sale was for 48% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% above the HPI over time, until the September 2015 sale, where it rises to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.

What might THYME COTTAGE be worth now?

THYME COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £507,713.

This is based on house price inflation of 43.8%, between September 2015 and February 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 43.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THYME COTTAGE of £353,000 on 30th September 2015. For the value to have increased from £353,000 to £507,713 over the ten years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THYME COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The September 2015 sale price of £353,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THYME COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 2015.
