LONG SPRING COTTAGE 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 two LONG SPRING COTTAGE sales from December 2006 and March 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 2006 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it rises to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might LONG SPRING COTTAGE be worth now?

LONG SPRING COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £878,196.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.3%, between March 2016 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 20.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LONG SPRING COTTAGE of £730,000 on 15th March 2016. For the value to have increased from £730,000 to £878,196 over the seven years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LONG SPRING COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Sevenoaks local authority area.
• The March 2016 sale price of £730,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
