PROSPECT LODGE 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 five PROSPECT LODGE sales between January 2000 and April 2015 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 June 2009 sale was for 76% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 76% above the HPI over time, until the April 2015 sale, where it falls to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.

What might PROSPECT LODGE be worth now?

PROSPECT LODGE might now be worth an estimated £1,253,387.

This is based on house price inflation of 43.2%, between April 2015 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 43.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for PROSPECT LODGE of £875,000 on 2nd April 2015. For the value to have increased from £875,000 to £1,253,387 over the eight years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of PROSPECT LODGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Sevenoaks local authority area.
• The April 2015 sale price of £875,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of PROSPECT LODGE has not materially changed since April 2015.
