2 FORGE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Knowsley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 FORGE CLOSE sales between September 1997 and August 2016 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 June 2012 sale was for 69% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 69% above the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it rises to 74% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 74% above the HPI.

What might 2 FORGE CLOSE be worth now?

2 FORGE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £268,381.

This is based on house price inflation of 67.7%, between August 2016 and April 2026, for terraced houses, in the Knowsley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 67.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 FORGE CLOSE of £160,000 on 25th August 2016. For the value to have increased from £160,000 to £268,381 over the ten years and four months to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 FORGE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the Knowsley local authority area.
• The August 2016 sale price of £160,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
