FOREST GALE 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 FOREST GALE sales from May 2008 and December 2015 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 May 2008 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the December 2015 sale, where it rises to 84% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 84% above the HPI.

What might FOREST GALE be worth now?

FOREST GALE might now be worth an estimated £746,255.

This is based on house price inflation of 53.9%, between December 2015 and February 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 53.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FOREST GALE of £485,000 on 4th December 2015. For the value to have increased from £485,000 to £746,255 over the ten years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FOREST GALE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Forest of Dean local authority area.
• The December 2015 sale price of £485,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FOREST GALE has not materially changed since December 2015.
