FOREST LODGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Ashford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FOREST LODGE sales from January 2020 and January 2025 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 2020 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the January 2025 sale, where it falls to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.

What might FOREST LODGE be worth now?

FOREST LODGE might now be worth an estimated £677,277.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.1%, between January 2025 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Ashford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 1.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FOREST LODGE of £670,000 on 17th January 2025. For the value to have increased from £670,000 to £677,277 over the eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FOREST LODGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Ashford local authority area.
• The January 2025 sale price of £670,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FOREST LODGE has not materially changed since January 2025.
