FORGE HOUSE 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 FORGE HOUSE sales from June 2003 and January 2016 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 June 2003 sale was for 75% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 75% above the HPI over time, until the January 2016 sale, where it rises to 76% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 76% above the HPI.

What might FORGE HOUSE be worth now?

FORGE HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £695,995.

This is based on house price inflation of 49.7%, between January 2016 and June 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 49.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FORGE HOUSE of £465,000 on 22nd January 2016. For the value to have increased from £465,000 to £695,995 over the eight years and seven months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FORGE HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Forest of Dean local authority area.
