HIDEAWAY 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 two HIDEAWAY sales from February 2003 and July 2017 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 February 2003 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the July 2017 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might HIDEAWAY be worth now?

HIDEAWAY might now be worth an estimated £824,820.

This is based on house price inflation of 21.3%, between July 2017 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 21.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIDEAWAY of £680,000 on 21st July 2017. For the value to have increased from £680,000 to £824,820 over the six years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIDEAWAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Sevenoaks local authority area.
• The July 2017 sale price of £680,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIDEAWAY has not materially changed since July 2017.
