SWEETBRIAR 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 six SWEETBRIAR sales between April 1997 and November 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 August 2020 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the November 2021 sale, where it falls to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.

What might SWEETBRIAR be worth now?

SWEETBRIAR might now be worth an estimated £513,802.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.5%, between November 2021 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 15.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SWEETBRIAR of £445,000 on 19th November 2021. For the value to have increased from £445,000 to £513,802 over the four years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SWEETBRIAR has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Forest of Dean local authority area.
• The November 2021 sale price of £445,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SWEETBRIAR has not materially changed since November 2021.
