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 four THE COTTAGE sales between May 2000 and May 2024 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 July 2022 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, where it rises to 41% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% above the HPI.

What might THE COTTAGE be worth now?

THE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £572,393.

This is based on house price inflation of 9%, between May 2024 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 9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE COTTAGE of £525,000 on 14th May 2024. For the value to have increased from £525,000 to £572,393 over the one year and three 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 May 2024 sale price of £525,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2024.
