MERRYMEAD 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 three MERRYMEAD sales between February 2002 and August 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 November 2003 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the August 2012 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might MERRYMEAD be worth now?

MERRYMEAD might now be worth an estimated £742,536.

This is based on house price inflation of 66.9%, between August 2012 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 66.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MERRYMEAD of £445,000 on 1st August 2012. For the value to have increased from £445,000 to £742,536 over the thirteen years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MERRYMEAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area.
• The August 2012 sale price of £445,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MERRYMEAD has not materially changed since August 2012.
