BAKERS CROSS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BAKERS CROSS COTTAGE sales between June 1999 and September 2009 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 October 2005 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the September 2009 sale, where it rises to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.

What might BAKERS CROSS COTTAGE be worth now?

BAKERS CROSS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £553,814.

This is based on house price inflation of 91%, between September 2009 and February 2025, for 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 91% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BAKERS CROSS COTTAGE of £290,000 on 25th September 2009. For the value to have increased from £290,000 to £553,814 over the sixteen years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BAKERS CROSS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area.
• The September 2009 sale price of £290,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
