THE FORGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the High Peak local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE FORGE sales between May 1998 and December 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 March 2013 sale was for 45% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% above the HPI over time, until the December 2016 sale, where it falls to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.

What might THE FORGE be worth now?

THE FORGE might now be worth an estimated £571,129.

This is based on house price inflation of 50.3%, between December 2016 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the High Peak local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 50.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE FORGE of £380,000 on 9th December 2016. For the value to have increased from £380,000 to £571,129 over the eight years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE FORGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the High Peak local authority area.
• The December 2016 sale price of £380,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE FORGE has not materially changed since December 2016.
