LAVENDER COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three LAVENDER COTTAGE sales between August 2002 and June 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 March 2009 sale was for 54% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% above the HPI over time, until the June 2012 sale, where it rises to 65% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 65% above the HPI.

What might LAVENDER COTTAGE be worth now?

LAVENDER COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £826,698.

This is based on house price inflation of 83.7%, between June 2012 and February 2025, for semi-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 83.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LAVENDER COTTAGE of £450,000 on 1st June 2012. For the value to have increased from £450,000 to £826,698 over the thirteen years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LAVENDER COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area.
• The June 2012 sale price of £450,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
