KIFTSGATE 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 four KIFTSGATE sales between April 1997 and January 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 September 2006 sale was for 78% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 78% above the HPI over time, until the January 2017 sale, where it rises to 79% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 79% above the HPI.

What might KIFTSGATE be worth now?

KIFTSGATE might now be worth an estimated £1,543,716.

This is based on house price inflation of 26%, between January 2017 and December 2024, 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 26% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for KIFTSGATE of £1,225,000 on 17th January 2017. For the value to have increased from £1,225,000 to £1,543,716 over the six years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of KIFTSGATE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area.
• The January 2017 sale price of £1,225,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of KIFTSGATE has not materially changed since January 2017.
