CROFTON 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 two CROFTON sales from November 2008 and December 2009 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 November 2008 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the December 2009 sale, where it rises to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might CROFTON be worth now?

CROFTON might now be worth an estimated £507,788.

This is based on house price inflation of 93.8%, between December 2009 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 93.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CROFTON of £262,000 on 16th December 2009. For the value to have increased from £262,000 to £507,788 over the fifteen years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CROFTON has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Sevenoaks local authority area.
• The December 2009 sale price of £262,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CROFTON has not materially changed since December 2009.
