CHAUCER 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 three CHAUCER sales between August 1997 and February 2004 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 September 2001 sale was for 57% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 57% above the HPI over time, until the February 2004 sale, where it falls to 51% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% above the HPI.

What might CHAUCER be worth now?

CHAUCER might now be worth an estimated £1,034,630.

This is based on house price inflation of 122.5%, between February 2004 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 122.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CHAUCER of £465,000 on 10th February 2004. For the value to have increased from £465,000 to £1,034,630 over the twenty years and eight months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CHAUCER has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tonbridge and Malling local authority area.
• The February 2004 sale price of £465,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CHAUCER has not materially changed since February 2004.
