FORGE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Warwick local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three FORGE COTTAGE sales between August 1997 and May 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 March 2001 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the May 2010 sale, where it falls to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might FORGE COTTAGE be worth now?

FORGE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £498,410.

This is based on house price inflation of 88.1%, between May 2010 and June 2025, for detached houses, in the Warwick local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 88.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FORGE COTTAGE of £265,000 on 24th May 2010. For the value to have increased from £265,000 to £498,410 over the fourteen years and eleven months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FORGE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Warwick local authority area.
• The May 2010 sale price of £265,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FORGE COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2010.
