WALDEN 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 WALDEN sales from January 2010 and October 2015 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 January 2010 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it rises to 62% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 62% above the HPI.

What might WALDEN be worth now?

WALDEN might now be worth an estimated £655,338.

This is based on house price inflation of 57.9%, between October 2015 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 57.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WALDEN of £415,000 on 1st October 2015. For the value to have increased from £415,000 to £655,338 over the ten years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WALDEN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Forest of Dean local authority area.
• The October 2015 sale price of £415,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WALDEN has not materially changed since October 2015.
