71 FOREST ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 71 FOREST ROAD sales from July 1996 and November 2015 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 1996 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the November 2015 sale, where it rises to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.

What might 71 FOREST ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 43.4%, between November 2015 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 43.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 71 FOREST ROAD of £395,000 on 12th November 2015. For the value to have increased from £395,000 to £566,308 over the ten years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
