KOBE COTTAGE 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 KOBE COTTAGE sales from January 2003 and January 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 2003 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the January 2016 sale, where it rises to 72% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 72% above the HPI.

What might KOBE COTTAGE be worth now?

KOBE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £697,036.

This is based on house price inflation of 53.2%, between January 2016 and March 2025, 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 53.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for KOBE COTTAGE of £455,000 on 20th January 2016. For the value to have increased from £455,000 to £697,036 over the eight years and ten months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of KOBE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Forest of Dean local authority area.
• The January 2016 sale price of £455,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
