THE FORGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Northamptonshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE FORGE sales between October 1995 and May 2015 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 1998 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the May 2015 sale, where it falls to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.

What might THE FORGE be worth now?

THE FORGE might now be worth an estimated £625,340.

This is based on house price inflation of 45.4%, between May 2015 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the West Northamptonshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 45.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE FORGE of £430,000 on 27th May 2015. For the value to have increased from £430,000 to £625,340 over the eight years and five 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 West Northamptonshire local authority area.
• The May 2015 sale price of £430,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE FORGE has not materially changed since May 2015.
