5 FORGE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the County Durham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 FORGE CLOSE sales from April 2023 and April 2026 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 April 2023 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the April 2026 sale, where it falls to 32% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% above the HPI.

What might 5 FORGE CLOSE be worth now?
