BATTS LANE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Forest of Dean local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BATTS LANE COTTAGE sales from August 1995 and April 1996 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 August 1995 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the April 1996 sale, where it rises to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might BATTS LANE COTTAGE be worth now?

BATTS LANE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £442,529.

This is based on house price inflation of 474.7%, between April 1996 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Forest of Dean local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 474.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BATTS LANE COTTAGE of £77,000 on 4th April 1996. For the value to have increased from £77,000 to £442,529 over the 29 years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BATTS LANE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Forest of Dean local authority area.
• The April 1996 sale price of £77,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
