CHAFFORD COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Sevenoaks local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five CHAFFORD COTTAGE sales between December 1997 and November 2022 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 July 2011 sale was for 31% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% above the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it falls to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might CHAFFORD COTTAGE be worth now?

CHAFFORD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £582,370.

This is based on house price inflation of 3.3%, between November 2022 and February 2025, for semi-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 3.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CHAFFORD COTTAGE of £563,500 on 25th November 2022. For the value to have increased from £563,500 to £582,370 over the three years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The November 2022 sale price of £563,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
