FOUR OAKS 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 FOUR OAKS sales between May 1998 and January 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 October 2001 sale was for 57% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 57% above the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it falls to 51% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% above the HPI.

What might FOUR OAKS be worth now?

FOUR OAKS might now be worth an estimated £1,426,633.

This is based on house price deflation of 4.3%, between January 2023 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 4.3% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for FOUR OAKS of £1,490,000 on 27th January 2023. For the value to have decreased from £1,490,000 to £1,426,633 over the one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FOUR OAKS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Sevenoaks local authority area.
• The January 2023 sale price of £1,490,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FOUR OAKS has not materially changed since January 2023.
