HAZELS 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 HAZELS sales from July 1998 and February 2006 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 1998 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the February 2006 sale, where it rises to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.

What might HAZELS be worth now?

HAZELS might now be worth an estimated £1,007,269.

This is based on house price inflation of 106.8%, between February 2006 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 106.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HAZELS of £487,000 on 2nd February 2006. For the value to have increased from £487,000 to £1,007,269 over the nineteen years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HAZELS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area.
• The February 2006 sale price of £487,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HAZELS has not materially changed since February 2006.
