THE BRIARS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Ashford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE BRIARS sales from October 2004 and September 2021 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 2004 sale was for 64% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 64% above the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 135% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 135% above the HPI.

What might THE BRIARS be worth now?

THE BRIARS might now be worth an estimated £1,299,446.

This is based on house price inflation of 8.3%, between September 2021 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Ashford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 8.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE BRIARS of £1,200,000 on 6th September 2021. For the value to have increased from £1,200,000 to £1,299,446 over the two years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE BRIARS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Ashford local authority area.
• The September 2021 sale price of £1,200,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE BRIARS has not materially changed since September 2021.
