FOREST LODGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Calderdale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FOREST LODGE sales from May 2002 and December 2003 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 May 2002 sale was for 249% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 249% above the HPI over time, until the December 2003 sale, where it falls to 231% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 231% above the HPI.

What might FOREST LODGE be worth now?

FOREST LODGE might now be worth an estimated £1,156,563.

This is based on house price inflation of 131.3%, between December 2003 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Calderdale local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 131.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FOREST LODGE of £500,000 on 18th December 2003. For the value to have increased from £500,000 to £1,156,563 over the 22 years and ten 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 Calderdale local authority area.
• The December 2003 sale price of £500,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FOREST LODGE has not materially changed since December 2003.
