OLDE FORGE 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 OLDE FORGE sales from March 2016 and March 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 March 2016 sale was for 106% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 106% above the HPI over time, until the March 2019 sale, where it falls to 69% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 69% above the HPI.

What might OLDE FORGE be worth now?

OLDE FORGE might now be worth an estimated £1,164,896.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.3%, between March 2019 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 15.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OLDE FORGE of £1,010,000 on 27th March 2019. For the value to have increased from £1,010,000 to £1,164,896 over the six years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OLDE FORGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tonbridge and Malling local authority area.
• The March 2019 sale price of £1,010,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
