APPLEDENE 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 APPLEDENE sales from June 2003 and August 2012 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 June 2003 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the August 2012 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might APPLEDENE be worth now?

APPLEDENE might now be worth an estimated £799,327.

This is based on house price inflation of 60.7%, between August 2012 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 60.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for APPLEDENE of £497,500 on 22nd August 2012. For the value to have increased from £497,500 to £799,327 over the eleven years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of APPLEDENE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Sevenoaks local authority area.
• The August 2012 sale price of £497,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of APPLEDENE has not materially changed since August 2012.
