4 FORGE LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Dover local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 4 FORGE LANE sales between November 1995 and February 2019 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 December 2001 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the February 2019 sale, where it rises to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.

What might 4 FORGE LANE be worth now?

4 FORGE LANE might now be worth an estimated £338,405.

This is based on house price inflation of 13.7%, between February 2019 and May 2026, for semi-detached houses, in the Dover local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 13.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 FORGE LANE of £297,500 on 6th February 2019. For the value to have increased from £297,500 to £338,405 over the six years and nine months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 FORGE LANE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Dover local authority area.
• The February 2019 sale price of £297,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
