THE FORGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Vale of White Horse local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE FORGE sales between January 1996 and August 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 June 2003 sale was for 91% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 91% above the HPI over time, until the August 2024 sale, where it falls to 60% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 60% above the HPI.

What might THE FORGE be worth now?

THE FORGE might now be worth an estimated £1,026,557.

This is based on house price inflation of 3.9%, between August 2024 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Vale of White Horse local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 3.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE FORGE of £988,000 on 29th August 2024. For the value to have increased from £988,000 to £1,026,557 over the eight months 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 Vale of White Horse local authority area.
• The August 2024 sale price of £988,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE FORGE has not materially changed since August 2024.
