85 FOREST ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Isle of Wight local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 85 FOREST ROAD sales between August 1999 and October 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 November 2004 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it falls to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 85 FOREST ROAD be worth now?

85 FOREST ROAD might now be worth an estimated £220,781.

This is based on house price inflation of 55.5%, between October 2014 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Isle of Wight local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 55.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 85 FOREST ROAD of £142,000 on 8th October 2014. For the value to have increased from £142,000 to £220,781 over the eleven years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 85 FOREST ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Isle of Wight local authority area.
• The October 2014 sale price of £142,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
