RUDGE 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 four RUDGE sales between April 1998 and May 2014 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 2001 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, which was also at 3% above the HPI.

What might RUDGE be worth now?

RUDGE might now be worth an estimated £707,182.

This is based on house price inflation of 58%, between May 2014 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 58% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for RUDGE of £447,500 on 30th May 2014. For the value to have increased from £447,500 to £707,182 over the eleven years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of RUDGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tonbridge and Malling local authority area.
• The May 2014 sale price of £447,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of RUDGE has not materially changed since May 2014.
