ORCHARD 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 ORCHARD COTTAGE sales from February 2010 and April 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 February 2010 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it rises to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.

What might ORCHARD COTTAGE be worth now?

ORCHARD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £293,106.

This is based on house price inflation of 56.3%, between April 2016 and February 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 56.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ORCHARD COTTAGE of £187,500 on 1st April 2016. For the value to have increased from £187,500 to £293,106 over the nine years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ORCHARD COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Forest of Dean local authority area.
• The April 2016 sale price of £187,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ORCHARD COTTAGE has not materially changed since April 2016.
