17 FOREST CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Telford and Wrekin local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 17 FOREST CLOSE sales from October 2013 and May 2019 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 2013 sale was for 44% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% above the HPI over time, until the May 2019 sale, where it falls to 40% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% above the HPI.

What might 17 FOREST CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 35.4%, between May 2019 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Telford and Wrekin local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 35.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 FOREST CLOSE of £202,500 on 31st May 2019. For the value to have increased from £202,500 to £274,202 over the six years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
