FORGE HOUSE 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 FORGE HOUSE sales between June 2004 and April 2016 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 January 2006 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might FORGE HOUSE be worth now?

FORGE HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £449,287.

This is based on house price inflation of 32.1%, between April 2016 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 32.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FORGE HOUSE of £340,000 on 8th April 2016. For the value to have increased from £340,000 to £449,287 over the seven years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FORGE HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wiltshire local authority area.
• The April 2016 sale price of £340,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FORGE HOUSE has not materially changed since April 2016.
