THE OLD FORGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE OLD FORGE sales between July 1998 and September 2010 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 January 2004 sale was for 88% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 88% above the HPI over time, until the September 2010 sale, where it rises to 93% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 93% above the HPI.

What might THE OLD FORGE be worth now?

THE OLD FORGE might now be worth an estimated £883,970.

This is based on house price inflation of 59.8%, between September 2010 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 59.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD FORGE of £553,000 on 8th September 2010. For the value to have increased from £553,000 to £883,970 over the thirteen years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE OLD FORGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The September 2010 sale price of £553,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD FORGE has not materially changed since September 2010.
