1 ESSEX CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 ESSEX CLOSE sales from October 2013 and January 2025 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 October 2013 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the January 2025 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.
