FARM COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tonbridge and Malling local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four FARM COTTAGE sales between August 1996 and July 2023 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 2013 sale was for 174% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 174% above the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it falls to 111% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 111% above the HPI.

What might FARM COTTAGE be worth now?

FARM COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,420,251.

This is based on house price deflation of 0.3%, between July 2023 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Tonbridge and Malling local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 0.3% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for FARM COTTAGE of £1,425,000 on 31st July 2023. For the value to have decreased from £1,425,000 to £1,420,251 over the seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FARM COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tonbridge and Malling local authority area.
• The July 2023 sale price of £1,425,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FARM COTTAGE has not materially changed since July 2023.
