FORGE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Hampshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three FORGE COTTAGE sales between August 2001 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 November 2005 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the January 2025 sale, where it falls to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.

What might FORGE COTTAGE be worth now?

FORGE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £760,525.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.7%, between January 2025 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the East Hampshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 0.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FORGE COTTAGE of £755,000 on 27th January 2025. For the value to have increased from £755,000 to £760,525 over the eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FORGE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Hampshire local authority area.
• The January 2025 sale price of £755,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FORGE COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2025.
