KINGSDOWN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Reigate and Banstead local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four KINGSDOWN sales between November 1996 and April 2016 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 December 2012 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it falls to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.

What might KINGSDOWN be worth now?

KINGSDOWN might now be worth an estimated £994,428.

This is based on house price inflation of 21.3%, between April 2016 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Reigate and Banstead 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 KINGSDOWN of £820,000 on 22nd April 2016. For the value to have increased from £820,000 to £994,428 over the seven years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of KINGSDOWN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Reigate and Banstead local authority area.
• The April 2016 sale price of £820,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of KINGSDOWN has not materially changed since April 2016.
