4 BIRCH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sevenoaks local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 4 BIRCH CLOSE sales between December 1996 and July 2022 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 July 2014 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the July 2022 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 4 BIRCH CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price deflation of 1.4%, between July 2022 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Sevenoaks local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 1.4% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 BIRCH CLOSE of £855,000 on 29th July 2022. For the value to have decreased from £855,000 to £843,252 over the one year and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
