FOREST VIEW Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five FOREST VIEW sales between July 1995 and January 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 February 2018 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the January 2019 sale, where it rises to 23% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% above the HPI.

What might FOREST VIEW be worth now?

FOREST VIEW might now be worth an estimated £752,005.

This is based on house price inflation of 21.3%, between January 2019 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Wealden local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 21.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FOREST VIEW of £620,000 on 16th January 2019. For the value to have increased from £620,000 to £752,005 over the four years and one month 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 Wealden local authority area.
• The January 2019 sale price of £620,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FOREST VIEW has not materially changed since January 2019.
