FORGE RIDGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dudley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FORGE RIDGE sales from December 2010 and October 2015 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 December 2010 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it falls to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.

What might FORGE RIDGE be worth now?

FORGE RIDGE might now be worth an estimated £204,064.

This is based on house price inflation of 60.7%, between October 2015 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Dudley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 60.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FORGE RIDGE of £127,000 on 7th October 2015. For the value to have increased from £127,000 to £204,064 over the eight years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FORGE RIDGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dudley local authority area.
• The October 2015 sale price of £127,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FORGE RIDGE has not materially changed since October 2015.
