NEWTOWN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Ashford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five NEWTOWN sales between August 1998 and May 2022 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 December 2013 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the May 2022 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might NEWTOWN be worth now?

NEWTOWN might now be worth an estimated £387,452.

This is based on house price inflation of 2%, between May 2022 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Ashford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for NEWTOWN of £380,000 on 27th May 2022. For the value to have increased from £380,000 to £387,452 over the three years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of NEWTOWN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Ashford local authority area.
• The May 2022 sale price of £380,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of NEWTOWN has not materially changed since May 2022.
