FORGE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bassetlaw local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four FORGE COTTAGE sales between May 1999 and January 2024 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 June 2018 sale was for 108% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 108% above the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it falls to 96% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 96% above the HPI.

What might FORGE COTTAGE be worth now?

FORGE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £611,899.

This is based on house price inflation of 11.3%, between January 2024 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Bassetlaw local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 11.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FORGE COTTAGE of £550,000 on 19th January 2024. For the value to have increased from £550,000 to £611,899 over the eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
