FOREST LODGE 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 six FOREST LODGE sales between April 1996 and April 2025 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 October 2019 sale was for 41% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% above the HPI over time, until the April 2025 sale, where it rises to 42% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% above the HPI.

What might FOREST LODGE be worth now?

FOREST LODGE might now be worth an estimated £817,120.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.3%, between April 2025 and June 2025, 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 0.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FOREST LODGE of £815,000 on 24th April 2025. For the value to have increased from £815,000 to £817,120 over the ten months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FOREST LODGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the New Forest local authority area.
• The April 2025 sale price of £815,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FOREST LODGE has not materially changed since April 2025.
