THE OLD FORGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Buckinghamshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE OLD FORGE sales between March 2000 and July 2014 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 2006 sale was for 63% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 63% below the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it falls to 70% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 70% below the HPI.

What might THE OLD FORGE be worth now?

THE OLD FORGE might now be worth an estimated £246,541.

This is based on house price inflation of 45%, between July 2014 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Buckinghamshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 45% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD FORGE of £170,000 on 31st July 2014. For the value to have increased from £170,000 to £246,541 over the nine years and seven 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 Buckinghamshire local authority area.
• The July 2014 sale price of £170,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD FORGE has not materially changed since July 2014.
