THE OLD FORGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Vale of Glamorgan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE OLD FORGE sales from November 1999 and August 2001 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 November 1999 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the August 2001 sale, where it rises to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.

What might THE OLD FORGE be worth now?

THE OLD FORGE might now be worth an estimated £552,067.

This is based on house price inflation of 245.1%, between August 2001 and August 2025, for detached houses, in the Vale of Glamorgan local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 245.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD FORGE of £159,950 on 10th August 2001. For the value to have increased from £159,950 to £552,067 over the 24 years to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE OLD FORGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Vale of Glamorgan local authority area.
• The August 2001 sale price of £159,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD FORGE has not materially changed since August 2001.
