OLD FORGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four OLD FORGE sales between April 2000 and April 2019 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 October 2014 sale was for 100% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 100% above the HPI over time, until the April 2019 sale, where it falls to 84% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 84% above the HPI.

What might OLD FORGE be worth now?

OLD FORGE might now be worth an estimated £612,752.

This is based on house price inflation of 28.2%, between April 2019 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the East Cambridgeshire 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 OLD FORGE of £478,000 on 18th April 2019. For the value to have increased from £478,000 to £612,752 over the six years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OLD FORGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area.
• The April 2019 sale price of £478,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OLD FORGE has not materially changed since April 2019.
