KELMSCOTT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Forest of Dean local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two KELMSCOTT sales from December 2017 and September 2022 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 2017 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, where it rises to 38% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% above the HPI.

What might KELMSCOTT be worth now?

KELMSCOTT might now be worth an estimated £526,414.

This is based on house price deflation of 3.4%, between September 2022 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Forest of Dean local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 3.4% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for KELMSCOTT of £545,000 on 23rd September 2022. For the value to have decreased from £545,000 to £526,414 over the one year and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of KELMSCOTT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Forest of Dean local authority area.
• The September 2022 sale price of £545,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of KELMSCOTT has not materially changed since September 2022.
