BEECHENLEA HOUSE 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 BEECHENLEA HOUSE sales from February 1996 and July 1997 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 February 1996 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the July 1997 sale, where it rises to 38% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% above the HPI.

What might BEECHENLEA HOUSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 420.9%, between July 1997 and February 2025, 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 420.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BEECHENLEA HOUSE of £260,000 on 15th July 1997. For the value to have increased from £260,000 to £1,354,456 over the 28 years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
