GILDEN 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 GILDEN sales from April 1996 and January 2021 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 April 1996 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it rises to 41% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% above the HPI.

What might GILDEN be worth now?

GILDEN might now be worth an estimated £1,207,297.

This is based on house price inflation of 13.4%, between January 2021 and February 2025, 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 13.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GILDEN of £1,065,000 on 12th January 2021. For the value to have increased from £1,065,000 to £1,207,297 over the three years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GILDEN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area.
• The January 2021 sale price of £1,065,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GILDEN has not materially changed since January 2021.
