5 FORGE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 FORGE CLOSE sales between March 1999 and November 2024 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 2003 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the November 2024 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 5 FORGE CLOSE be worth now?

5 FORGE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £368,377.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.9%, between November 2024 and April 2026, for terraced houses, in the South Oxfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
