LITTLE MERCERS 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 two LITTLE MERCERS sales from February 2004 and January 2007 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 February 2004 sale was for 79% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 79% below the HPI over time, until the January 2007 sale, where it rises to 46% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% below the HPI.

What might LITTLE MERCERS be worth now?

LITTLE MERCERS might now be worth an estimated £463,523.

This is based on house price inflation of 90%, between January 2007 and February 2025, 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 90% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LITTLE MERCERS of £244,000 on 5th January 2007. For the value to have increased from £244,000 to £463,523 over the seventeen years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LITTLE MERCERS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area.
• The January 2007 sale price of £244,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LITTLE MERCERS has not materially changed since January 2007.
