ARDEN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Forest of Dean local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two ARDEN sales from December 1995 and September 2014 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 December 1995 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the September 2014 sale, where it falls to 46% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% below the HPI.

What might ARDEN be worth now?

ARDEN might now be worth an estimated £220,117.

This is based on house price inflation of 60.1%, between September 2014 and March 2025, for 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 60.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ARDEN of £137,500 on 12th September 2014. For the value to have increased from £137,500 to £220,117 over the eleven years and six months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ARDEN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Forest of Dean local authority area.
• The September 2014 sale price of £137,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ARDEN has not materially changed since September 2014.
