TREE TOPS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Forest of Dean local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two TREE TOPS sales from December 2014 and October 2016 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 December 2014 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the October 2016 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might TREE TOPS be worth now?

TREE TOPS might now be worth an estimated £332,533.

This is based on house price inflation of 46.2%, between October 2016 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Forest of Dean local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 46.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for TREE TOPS of £227,500 on 24th October 2016. For the value to have increased from £227,500 to £332,533 over the nine years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of TREE TOPS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Forest of Dean local authority area.
• The October 2016 sale price of £227,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of TREE TOPS has not materially changed since October 2016.
