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 three THE OLD FORGE sales between August 1996 and August 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 June 2015 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it rises to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.

What might THE OLD FORGE be worth now?

THE OLD FORGE might now be worth an estimated £1,022,062.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.2%, between August 2023 and February 2025, 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 0.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD FORGE of £1,020,000 on 9th August 2023. For the value to have increased from £1,020,000 to £1,022,062 over the two years and six 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 Buckinghamshire local authority area.
• The August 2023 sale price of £1,020,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD FORGE has not materially changed since August 2023.
