YEW COTTAGE 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 YEW COTTAGE sales from August 2011 and November 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 August 2011 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the November 2012 sale, where it rises to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.

What might YEW COTTAGE be worth now?

YEW COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,024,549.

This is based on house price inflation of 75.1%, between November 2012 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 75.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for YEW COTTAGE of £585,000 on 29th November 2012. For the value to have increased from £585,000 to £1,024,549 over the eleven years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of YEW COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Sevenoaks local authority area.
• The November 2012 sale price of £585,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of YEW COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2012.
