The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the City of Bristol local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 157 FOREST ROAD sales from November 1999 and January 2004 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 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the January 2004 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.
157 FOREST ROAD might now be worth an estimated £451,368.
This is based on house price inflation of 182.1%, between January 2004 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the City of Bristol local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
The 182.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 157 FOREST ROAD of £159,995 on 28th January 2004. For the value to have increased from £159,995 to £451,368 over the twenty years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
