THE 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 three THE COTTAGE sales between July 1999 and June 2012 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 May 2001 sale was for 158% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 158% above the HPI over time, until the June 2012 sale, where it falls to 103% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 103% above the HPI.

What might THE COTTAGE be worth now?

THE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £823,890.

This is based on house price inflation of 79.1%, between June 2012 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 79.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE COTTAGE of £460,000 on 14th June 2012. For the value to have increased from £460,000 to £823,890 over the thirteen years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Forest of Dean local authority area.
• The June 2012 sale price of £460,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2012.
