LAMORNA 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 three LAMORNA sales between April 2000 and October 2012 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 2005 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the October 2012 sale, where it falls to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might LAMORNA be worth now?

LAMORNA might now be worth an estimated £868,458.

This is based on house price inflation of 68.6%, between October 2012 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 68.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LAMORNA of £515,000 on 25th October 2012. For the value to have increased from £515,000 to £868,458 over the eleven years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LAMORNA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Sevenoaks local authority area.
• The October 2012 sale price of £515,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LAMORNA has not materially changed since October 2012.
