ALBENA Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Forest of Dean local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two ALBENA sales from June 2000 and February 2010 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 2000 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the February 2010 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might ALBENA be worth now?

ALBENA might now be worth an estimated £222,141.

This is based on house price inflation of 79.9%, between February 2010 and March 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Forest of Dean local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 79.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ALBENA of £123,500 on 12th February 2010. For the value to have increased from £123,500 to £222,141 over the fourteen years and eleven months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ALBENA has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Forest of Dean local authority area.
• The February 2010 sale price of £123,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ALBENA has not materially changed since February 2010.
