CASSETTA 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 CASSETTA sales from July 2017 and March 2020 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 2017 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the March 2020 sale, where it falls to 52% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% below the HPI.

What might CASSETTA be worth now?

CASSETTA might now be worth an estimated £454,625.

This is based on house price inflation of 13.8%, between March 2020 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 13.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CASSETTA of £399,500 on 16th March 2020. For the value to have increased from £399,500 to £454,625 over the three years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CASSETTA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Sevenoaks local authority area.
• The March 2020 sale price of £399,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CASSETTA has not materially changed since March 2020.
