YEW TREE 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 two YEW TREE COTTAGE sales from June 2006 and August 2015 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 2006 sale was for 51% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% above the HPI over time, until the August 2015 sale, where it falls to 50% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% above the HPI.

What might YEW TREE COTTAGE be worth now?

YEW TREE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,285,602.

This is based on house price inflation of 36%, between August 2015 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 36% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for YEW TREE COTTAGE of £945,000 on 19th August 2015. For the value to have increased from £945,000 to £1,285,602 over the ten years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of YEW TREE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area.
• The August 2015 sale price of £945,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
