BRICABAT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Sevenoaks local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four BRICABAT sales between November 2004 and August 2019 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 September 2013 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it rises to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.

What might BRICABAT be worth now?

BRICABAT might now be worth an estimated £541,285.

This is based on house price inflation of 21.6%, between August 2019 and December 2024, for semi-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 21.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BRICABAT of £445,000 on 28th August 2019. For the value to have increased from £445,000 to £541,285 over the four years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BRICABAT has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Sevenoaks local authority area.
• The August 2019 sale price of £445,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BRICABAT has not materially changed since August 2019.
