THE LAURELS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE LAURELS sales from August 1999 and June 2009 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 August 1999 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the June 2009 sale, which was also at 35% below the HPI.

What might THE LAURELS be worth now?

THE LAURELS might now be worth an estimated £559,612.

This is based on house price inflation of 99.9%, between June 2009 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 99.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE LAURELS of £280,000 on 5th June 2009. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £559,612 over the sixteen years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE LAURELS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area.
• The June 2009 sale price of £280,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE LAURELS has not materially changed since June 2009.
