4 MELBA CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Tonbridge and Malling local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 4 MELBA CLOSE sales between May 2009 and December 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 August 2013 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the December 2022 sale, where it falls to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might 4 MELBA CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price deflation of 2.2%, between December 2022 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Tonbridge and Malling local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 2.2% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 MELBA CLOSE of £470,000 on 19th December 2022. For the value to have decreased from £470,000 to £459,747 over the three years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
