9 FORGE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Knowsley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 9 FORGE CLOSE sales from April 2002 and October 2015 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 April 2002 sale was for 50% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% above the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it falls to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.

What might 9 FORGE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 71.1%, between October 2015 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Knowsley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 71.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 9 FORGE CLOSE of £220,000 on 28th October 2015. For the value to have increased from £220,000 to £376,432 over the ten years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
