5 ORCHARD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Forest of Dean local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 ORCHARD CLOSE sales from September 1999 and October 2018 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 1999 sale was for 50% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% above the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it falls to 29% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% above the HPI.

What might 5 ORCHARD CLOSE be worth now?

The 19.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 ORCHARD CLOSE of £266,250 on 18th October 2018. For the value to have increased from £266,250 to £318,747 over the five years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
