CHILDS 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 two CHILDS COTTAGE sales from October 2003 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 October 2003 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it falls to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.

What might CHILDS COTTAGE be worth now?

CHILDS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,000,478.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.4%, between August 2019 and December 2024, 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 18.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CHILDS COTTAGE of £845,000 on 16th August 2019. For the value to have increased from £845,000 to £1,000,478 over the four years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
