THE OLD FORGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rother local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE OLD FORGE sales from January 1999 and December 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 January 1999 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the December 2024 sale, where it rises to 37% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% above the HPI.

What might THE OLD FORGE be worth now?

THE OLD FORGE might now be worth an estimated £779,319.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.6%, between December 2024 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Rother local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 0.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD FORGE of £775,000 on 18th December 2024. For the value to have increased from £775,000 to £779,319 over the one year and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE OLD FORGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rother local authority area.
• The December 2024 sale price of £775,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD FORGE has not materially changed since December 2024.
