27 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 four 27 FOREST CLOSE sales between June 1999 and December 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 January 2002 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the December 2019 sale, where it falls to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.

What might 27 FOREST CLOSE be worth now?

27 FOREST CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £224,364.

This is based on house price inflation of 30.4%, between December 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 30.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 27 FOREST CLOSE of £172,000 on 12th December 2019. For the value to have increased from £172,000 to £224,364 over the six years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 27 FOREST CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Telford and Wrekin local authority area.
• The December 2019 sale price of £172,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
