WILLOW COTTAGE 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 five WILLOW COTTAGE sales between February 1996 and August 2011 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 June 2004 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the August 2011 sale, where it falls to 49% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% below the HPI.

What might WILLOW COTTAGE be worth now?

WILLOW COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £435,447.

This is based on house price inflation of 74.2%, between August 2011 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 74.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WILLOW COTTAGE of £250,000 on 5th August 2011. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £435,447 over the fourteen years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WILLOW COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area.
• The August 2011 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WILLOW COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2011.
