TESTON 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 four TESTON COTTAGE sales between April 2002 and November 2023 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 2012 sale was for 75% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 75% above the HPI over time, until the November 2023 sale, where it rises to 84% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 84% above the HPI.

What might TESTON COTTAGE be worth now?

TESTON COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,264,233.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.1%, between November 2023 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 1.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for TESTON COTTAGE of £1,250,000 on 15th November 2023. For the value to have increased from £1,250,000 to £1,264,233 over the two years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of TESTON COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tonbridge and Malling local authority area.
• The November 2023 sale price of £1,250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of TESTON COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2023.
