20 PUZZLE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Forest of Dean local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 20 PUZZLE CLOSE sales from June 1995 and April 2003 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 1995 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the April 2003 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might 20 PUZZLE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 141%, between April 2003 and April 2026, for detached houses, in the Forest of Dean local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 141% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 PUZZLE CLOSE of £128,500 on 3rd April 2003. For the value to have increased from £128,500 to £309,728 over the 23 years to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:
