THE OLD FORGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE OLD FORGE sales between July 1995 and April 2013 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 2012 sale was for 48% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% above the HPI over time, until the April 2013 sale, where it rises to 55% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 55% above the HPI.

What might THE OLD FORGE be worth now?

THE OLD FORGE might now be worth an estimated £436,227.

This is based on house price inflation of 64.6%, between April 2013 and June 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 64.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD FORGE of £265,000 on 5th April 2013. For the value to have increased from £265,000 to £436,227 over the eleven years and ten months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE OLD FORGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The April 2013 sale price of £265,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD FORGE has not materially changed since April 2013.
