THE RIDGEWAY 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 two THE RIDGEWAY sales from August 2014 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 August 2014 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it rises to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.

What might THE RIDGEWAY be worth now?

THE RIDGEWAY might now be worth an estimated £1,125,940.

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 RIDGEWAY of £980,000 on 3rd August 2018. For the value to have increased from £980,000 to £1,125,940 over the five years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE RIDGEWAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Sevenoaks local authority area.
• The August 2018 sale price of £980,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE RIDGEWAY has not materially changed since August 2018.
