CHAPLINS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five CHAPLINS sales between July 2002 and August 2022 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 2017 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the August 2022 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might CHAPLINS be worth now?

CHAPLINS might now be worth an estimated £429,718.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.1%, between August 2022 and February 2025, for semi-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 1.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CHAPLINS of £425,000 on 12th August 2022. For the value to have increased from £425,000 to £429,718 over the three years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CHAPLINS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area.
• The August 2022 sale price of £425,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CHAPLINS has not materially changed since August 2022.
