THE FORGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Herefordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE FORGE sales from April 2011 and April 2019 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 April 2011 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the April 2019 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might THE FORGE be worth now?

THE FORGE might now be worth an estimated £441,958.

This is based on house price inflation of 31.9%, between April 2019 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Herefordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 31.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE FORGE of £335,000 on 15th April 2019. For the value to have increased from £335,000 to £441,958 over the six years and two 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 Herefordshire local authority area.
• The April 2019 sale price of £335,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE FORGE has not materially changed since April 2019.
