THE OLD FORGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE OLD FORGE sales between September 1995 and May 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 September 2010 sale was for 46% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% above the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, where it rises to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.

What might THE OLD FORGE be worth now?

THE OLD FORGE might now be worth an estimated £784,815.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.9%, between May 2024 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Dorset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 2.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD FORGE of £762,500 on 30th May 2024. For the value to have increased from £762,500 to £784,815 over the one year and three 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 Dorset local authority area.
• The May 2024 sale price of £762,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD FORGE has not materially changed since May 2024.
