FIR TREE 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 five FIR TREE COTTAGE sales between June 2004 and November 2024 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 June 2021 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the November 2024 sale, where it falls to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might FIR TREE COTTAGE be worth now?

This is based on house price deflation of 1.9%, between November 2024 and December 2024, 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).
