HOSEY RIGGE 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 two HOSEY RIGGE COTTAGE sales from July 1997 and August 2013 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 1997 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the August 2013 sale, where it falls to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might HOSEY RIGGE COTTAGE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 64.2%, between August 2013 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 64.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HOSEY RIGGE COTTAGE of £452,000 on 22nd August 2013. For the value to have increased from £452,000 to £742,170 over the ten years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The August 2013 sale price of £452,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
