7 FORGE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 7 FORGE CLOSE sales from October 1998 and November 2001 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 October 1998 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the November 2001 sale, where it falls to 28% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% above the HPI.

What might 7 FORGE CLOSE be worth now?

7 FORGE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £571,666.

This is based on house price inflation of 185.9%, between November 2001 and April 2026, for semi-detached 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).

The 185.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 FORGE CLOSE of £199,950 on 9th November 2001. For the value to have increased from £199,950 to £571,666 over the 25 years and seven months to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 FORGE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the South Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The November 2001 sale price of £199,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
