QUANTOCKS 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 QUANTOCKS sales between December 1995 and February 2016 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 July 1998 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might QUANTOCKS be worth now?

QUANTOCKS might now be worth an estimated £736,746.

This is based on house price inflation of 23.8%, between February 2016 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 23.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for QUANTOCKS of £595,000 on 22nd February 2016. For the value to have increased from £595,000 to £736,746 over the seven years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of QUANTOCKS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Sevenoaks local authority area.
• The February 2016 sale price of £595,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of QUANTOCKS has not materially changed since February 2016.
