5 MOAT 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 two 5 MOAT CLOSE sales from April 1998 and September 1998 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 April 1998 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the September 1998 sale, where it rises to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might 5 MOAT CLOSE be worth now?

5 MOAT CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £1,075,253.

This is based on house price inflation of 305.8%, between September 1998 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 305.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 MOAT CLOSE of £265,000 on 21st September 1998. For the value to have increased from £265,000 to £1,075,253 over the 25 years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
