3 THE FORSTAL Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Ashford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 THE FORSTAL sales from September 2001 and August 2005 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 September 2001 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the August 2005 sale, where it rises to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.

What might 3 THE FORSTAL be worth now?

3 THE FORSTAL might now be worth an estimated £623,845.

This is based on house price inflation of 98%, between August 2005 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Ashford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 98% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 THE FORSTAL of £315,000 on 12th August 2005. For the value to have increased from £315,000 to £623,845 over the twenty years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 THE FORSTAL has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Ashford local authority area.
• The August 2005 sale price of £315,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 3 THE FORSTAL has not materially changed since August 2005.
