SUMMER COTTAGE 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 five SUMMER COTTAGE sales between June 1996 and October 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 July 2008 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might SUMMER COTTAGE be worth now?

SUMMER COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £589,411.

This is based on house price inflation of 48.8%, between October 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 48.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SUMMER COTTAGE of £396,000 on 24th October 2014. For the value to have increased from £396,000 to £589,411 over the eleven years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SUMMER COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tonbridge and Malling local authority area.
• The October 2014 sale price of £396,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SUMMER COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2014.
