7 THE FORGE 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 six 7 THE FORGE sales between March 2001 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 September 2019 sale was for 58% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 58% above the HPI over time, until the November 2024 sale, where it falls to 53% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 53% above the HPI.

What might 7 THE FORGE be worth now?

7 THE FORGE might now be worth an estimated £211,349.

This is based on house price inflation of 4.6%, between November 2024 and May 2026, for semi-detached houses, in the County Durham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 4.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 THE FORGE of £202,000 on 14th November 2024. For the value to have increased from £202,000 to £211,349 over the two years and six months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 THE FORGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The November 2024 sale price of £202,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 7 THE FORGE has not materially changed since November 2024.
