WORMS LODGE 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 four WORMS LODGE COTTAGE sales between September 1995 and January 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 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the January 2012 sale, where it rises to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.

What might WORMS LODGE COTTAGE be worth now?

WORMS LODGE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £616,481.

This is based on house price inflation of 68.9%, between January 2012 and March 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 68.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WORMS LODGE COTTAGE of £365,000 on 5th January 2012. For the value to have increased from £365,000 to £616,481 over the twelve years and ten months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WORMS LODGE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area.
• The January 2012 sale price of £365,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WORMS LODGE COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2012.
