6 FORBES CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Crawley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 6 FORBES CLOSE sales between June 1997 and May 2007 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 2003 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the May 2007 sale, which was also at 20% below the HPI.

What might 6 FORBES CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 82.9%, between May 2007 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Crawley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 82.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 6 FORBES CLOSE of £285,000 on 11th May 2007. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £521,284 over the eighteen years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
