39 FORBES CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Gloucester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 39 FORBES CLOSE sales between May 1998 and June 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 October 2006 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the June 2014 sale, which was also at 5% above the HPI.

What might 39 FORBES CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 75.5%, between June 2014 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Gloucester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 75.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 39 FORBES CLOSE of £162,500 on 27th June 2014. For the value to have increased from £162,500 to £285,195 over the eleven years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 39 FORBES CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Gloucester local authority area.
