STONE LEA 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 STONE LEA sales between October 1995 and August 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 January 2006 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it rises to 23% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% above the HPI.

What might STONE LEA be worth now?

STONE LEA might now be worth an estimated £1,159,642.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.7%, between August 2019 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 17.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for STONE LEA of £985,000 on 5th August 2019. For the value to have increased from £985,000 to £1,159,642 over the four years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of STONE LEA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Sevenoaks local authority area.
• The August 2019 sale price of £985,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of STONE LEA has not materially changed since August 2019.
