18 FORGE AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Bromsgrove local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 FORGE AVENUE sales from June 2005 and October 2014 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 2005 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it falls to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.

What might 18 FORGE AVENUE be worth now?

The 57.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 FORGE AVENUE of £222,500 on 2nd October 2014. For the value to have increased from £222,500 to £350,476 over the nine years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
