WEST 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 WEST COTTAGE sales from November 2015 and March 2017 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 November 2015 sale was for 91% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 91% above the HPI over time, until the March 2017 sale, where it rises to 101% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 101% above the HPI.

What might WEST COTTAGE be worth now?

WEST COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,060,607.

This is based on house price inflation of 27%, between March 2017 and February 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 27% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WEST COTTAGE of £835,000 on 13th March 2017. For the value to have increased from £835,000 to £1,060,607 over the eight years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WEST COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The March 2017 sale price of £835,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WEST COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 2017.
