18 KIPLING DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tonbridge and Malling local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 18 KIPLING DRIVE sales between May 1997 and December 2017 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 October 2011 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it rises to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.

What might 18 KIPLING DRIVE be worth now?

18 KIPLING DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £558,102.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.2%, between December 2017 and June 2025, for detached houses, in the Tonbridge and Malling local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 18.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 KIPLING DRIVE of £472,000 on 11th December 2017. For the value to have increased from £472,000 to £558,102 over the eight years and six months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 18 KIPLING DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tonbridge and Malling local authority area.
• The December 2017 sale price of £472,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
