THE FORGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five THE FORGE sales between August 1999 and September 2023 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 2007 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the September 2023 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 £378,876.

This is based on house price inflation of 5.2%, between September 2023 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Mid Suffolk local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 5.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE FORGE of £360,000 on 15th September 2023. For the value to have increased from £360,000 to £378,876 over the two years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE FORGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Mid Suffolk local authority area.
• The September 2023 sale price of £360,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE FORGE has not materially changed since September 2023.
