THE CARRIAGE HOUSE 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 three THE CARRIAGE HOUSE sales between May 2003 and August 2018 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 September 2012 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might THE CARRIAGE HOUSE be worth now?

THE CARRIAGE HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £947,858.

This is based on house price inflation of 14.9%, between August 2018 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 14.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE CARRIAGE HOUSE of £825,000 on 31st August 2018. For the value to have increased from £825,000 to £947,858 over the five years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE CARRIAGE HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Sevenoaks local authority area.
• The August 2018 sale price of £825,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE CARRIAGE HOUSE has not materially changed since August 2018.
