LYDIA COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Forest of Dean local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three LYDIA COTTAGE sales between August 2003 and July 2018 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 July 2011 sale was for 40% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% above the HPI over time, until the July 2018 sale, where it rises to 74% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 74% above the HPI.

What might LYDIA COTTAGE be worth now?

LYDIA COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £429,504.

This is based on house price inflation of 28.2%, between July 2018 and December 2024, for semi-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 28.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LYDIA COTTAGE of £335,000 on 2nd July 2018. For the value to have increased from £335,000 to £429,504 over the five years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LYDIA COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Forest of Dean local authority area.
• The July 2018 sale price of £335,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LYDIA COTTAGE has not materially changed since July 2018.
