ORCHARD HOUSE 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 HOUSE sales from December 2011 and October 2021 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 2011 sale was for 31% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% above the HPI over time, until the October 2021 sale, where it rises to 59% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 59% above the HPI.

What might ORCHARD HOUSE be worth now?

ORCHARD HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £606,787.

This is based on house price inflation of 12.4%, between October 2021 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 12.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ORCHARD HOUSE of £540,000 on 13th October 2021. For the value to have increased from £540,000 to £606,787 over the two years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ORCHARD HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Forest of Dean local authority area.
