GRACE COTTAGE Sold Prices

Land registry data shows three sales for GRACE COTTAGE since 1^st January 1995. The below table shows the price paid for the three sales, along with the average detached price in the Sevenoaks local authority area for the corresponding sale date. All of the three GRACE COTTAGE sales were for below the average price. The average price is sourced from the Office for National Statistics' House Price Index (HPI).

Date	Price	HPI Price	Variation from HPI

GRACE COTTAGE 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 GRACE COTTAGE sales between May 1997 and January 2019 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 2005 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the January 2019 sale, where it falls to 40% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% below the HPI.

What might GRACE COTTAGE be worth now?

GRACE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £590,234.

This is based on house price inflation of 23%, between January 2019 and February 2025, 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 23% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GRACE COTTAGE of £480,000 on 4th January 2019. For the value to have increased from £480,000 to £590,234 over the five years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GRACE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Sevenoaks local authority area.
• The January 2019 sale price of £480,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GRACE COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2019.
