HILLVIEW Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Sevenoaks local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HILLVIEW sales from October 2012 and August 2018 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 2012 sale was for 21% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% above the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it rises to 44% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% above the HPI.

What might HILLVIEW be worth now?

HILLVIEW might now be worth an estimated £739,642.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.3%, between August 2018 and December 2024, for semi-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 19.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HILLVIEW of £620,000 on 9th August 2018. For the value to have increased from £620,000 to £739,642 over the five years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HILLVIEW has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Sevenoaks local authority area.
• The August 2018 sale price of £620,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HILLVIEW has not materially changed since August 2018.
