CORALS 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 three CORALS sales between March 2000 and August 2014 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 March 2005 sale was for 46% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% below the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it falls to 53% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 53% below the HPI.

What might CORALS be worth now?

CORALS might now be worth an estimated £446,173.

This is based on house price inflation of 48.7%, between August 2014 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 48.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CORALS of £300,000 on 29th August 2014. For the value to have increased from £300,000 to £446,173 over the nine years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CORALS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Sevenoaks local authority area.
• The August 2014 sale price of £300,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CORALS has not materially changed since August 2014.
