THE OLD FORGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE OLD FORGE sales between February 2002 and July 2023 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 2017 sale was for 20% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% above the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it rises to 41% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% above the HPI.

What might THE OLD FORGE be worth now?

THE OLD FORGE might now be worth an estimated £632,543.

This is based on house price deflation of 0.7%, between July 2023 and June 2025, for 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 0.7% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD FORGE of £637,000 on 14th July 2023. For the value to have decreased from £637,000 to £632,543 over the two years and one month to June 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 Somerset local authority area.
• The July 2023 sale price of £637,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD FORGE has not materially changed since July 2023.
