FOREST VIEW Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wiltshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three FOREST VIEW sales between March 1996 and March 2019 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 2013 sale was for 54% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% below the HPI over time, until the March 2019 sale, where it rises to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.

What might FOREST VIEW be worth now?

FOREST VIEW might now be worth an estimated £344,285.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.8%, between March 2019 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Wiltshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 20.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FOREST VIEW of £285,000 on 29th March 2019. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £344,285 over the four years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FOREST VIEW has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wiltshire local authority area.
• The March 2019 sale price of £285,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FOREST VIEW has not materially changed since March 2019.
