LONGWOOD 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 LONGWOOD sales from August 1997 and September 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 August 1997 sale was for 195% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 195% above the HPI over time, until the September 2016 sale, where it rises to 290% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 290% above the HPI.

What might LONGWOOD be worth now?

LONGWOOD might now be worth an estimated £3,350,433.

This is based on house price inflation of 24.1%, between September 2016 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 24.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LONGWOOD of £2,700,000 on 30th September 2016. For the value to have increased from £2,700,000 to £3,350,433 over the nine years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LONGWOOD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area.
• The September 2016 sale price of £2,700,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LONGWOOD has not materially changed since September 2016.
