MARLPIT 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 three MARLPIT COTTAGE sales between January 2002 and August 2011 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 May 2003 sale was for 81% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 81% above the HPI over time, until the August 2011 sale, where it falls to 75% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 75% above the HPI.

What might MARLPIT COTTAGE be worth now?

MARLPIT COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,654,868.

This is based on house price inflation of 71.5%, between August 2011 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 71.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MARLPIT COTTAGE of £965,000 on 26th August 2011. For the value to have increased from £965,000 to £1,654,868 over the twelve years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MARLPIT COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Sevenoaks local authority area.
• The August 2011 sale price of £965,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MARLPIT COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2011.
