NEWTON COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tonbridge and Malling local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two NEWTON COTTAGE sales from October 2000 and August 2003 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 2000 sale was for 91% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 91% above the HPI over time, until the August 2003 sale, where it falls to 84% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 84% above the HPI.

What might NEWTON COTTAGE be worth now?

NEWTON COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,263,572.

This is based on house price inflation of 121.7%, between August 2003 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Tonbridge and Malling local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 121.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for NEWTON COTTAGE of £570,000 on 29th August 2003. For the value to have increased from £570,000 to £1,263,572 over the 22 years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of NEWTON COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tonbridge and Malling local authority area.
• The August 2003 sale price of £570,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
