The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Waverley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE OLD FORGE COTTAGE sales between August 1997 and October 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 March 2008 sale was for 38% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% above the HPI over time, until the October 2024 sale, where it falls to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.
