THE FORGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Sussex local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE FORGE sales between November 2003 and December 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 2019 sale was for 49% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% above the HPI over time, until the December 2021 sale, which was also at 49% above the HPI.

What might THE FORGE be worth now?

THE FORGE might now be worth an estimated £1,111,108.

This is based on house price inflation of 9.9%, between December 2021 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Mid Sussex local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 9.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE FORGE of £1,011,333 on 13th December 2021. For the value to have increased from £1,011,333 to £1,111,108 over the four years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE FORGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Sussex local authority area.
• The December 2021 sale price of £1,011,333 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE FORGE has not materially changed since December 2021.
