THE LIMES 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 THE LIMES sales between June 1997 and July 2012 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 November 2005 sale was for 70% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 70% above the HPI over time, until the July 2012 sale, where it rises to 76% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 76% above the HPI.

What might THE LIMES be worth now?

THE LIMES might now be worth an estimated £1,213,251.

This is based on house price inflation of 72.1%, between July 2012 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 72.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE LIMES of £705,000 on 19th July 2012. For the value to have increased from £705,000 to £1,213,251 over the thirteen years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE LIMES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tonbridge and Malling local authority area.
• The July 2012 sale price of £705,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE LIMES has not materially changed since July 2012.
