MERRYWIGS 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 MERRYWIGS sales between May 2002 and December 2019 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 October 2017 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the December 2019 sale, where it rises to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might MERRYWIGS be worth now?

MERRYWIGS might now be worth an estimated £1,076,150.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.3%, between December 2019 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 16.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MERRYWIGS of £925,000 on 18th December 2019. For the value to have increased from £925,000 to £1,076,150 over the five years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MERRYWIGS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Sevenoaks local authority area.
• The December 2019 sale price of £925,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MERRYWIGS has not materially changed since December 2019.
