WALNUT TREE COTTAGE 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 WALNUT TREE COTTAGE sales from January 1997 and October 1997 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 1997 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the October 1997 sale, where it falls to 56% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% below the HPI.

What might WALNUT TREE COTTAGE be worth now?

WALNUT TREE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £180,029.

This is based on house price inflation of 386.6%, between October 1997 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 386.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WALNUT TREE COTTAGE of £37,000 on 6th October 1997. For the value to have increased from £37,000 to £180,029 over the 28 years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WALNUT TREE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Forest of Dean local authority area.
• The October 1997 sale price of £37,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WALNUT TREE COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 1997.
