FOREST LEA Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FOREST LEA sales from December 1996 and November 2022 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 1996 sale was for 174% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 174% above the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it falls to 155% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 155% above the HPI.

What might FOREST LEA be worth now?

This is based on house price deflation of 7%, between November 2022 and July 2026, for detached houses, in the New Forest local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 7% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for FOREST LEA of £1,603,400 on 16th November 2022. For the value to have decreased from £1,603,400 to £1,491,702 over the four years and four months to July 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:
