FORTFORE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Chichester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FORTFORE sales from January 1996 and October 2002 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 1996 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the October 2002 sale, where it rises to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might FORTFORE be worth now?

FORTFORE might now be worth an estimated £648,610.

This is based on house price inflation of 123.7%, between October 2002 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Chichester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 123.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FORTFORE of £289,950 on 18th October 2002. For the value to have increased from £289,950 to £648,610 over the 21 years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FORTFORE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Chichester local authority area.
• The October 2002 sale price of £289,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FORTFORE has not materially changed since October 2002.
