32 THE FORGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dudley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 32 THE FORGE sales between June 1995 and March 2010 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 2002 sale was for 52% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% below the HPI over time, until the March 2010 sale, where it rises to 46% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% below the HPI.

What might 32 THE FORGE be worth now?

32 THE FORGE might now be worth an estimated £187,994.

This is based on house price inflation of 79%, between March 2010 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Dudley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 79% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 32 THE FORGE of £105,000 on 24th March 2010. For the value to have increased from £105,000 to £187,994 over the thirteen years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 32 THE FORGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dudley local authority area.
• The March 2010 sale price of £105,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 32 THE FORGE has not materially changed since March 2010.
