CHESTNUT 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 CHESTNUT COTTAGE sales from February 2007 and August 2016 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 February 2007 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it rises to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.

What might CHESTNUT COTTAGE be worth now?

CHESTNUT COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,137,556.

This is based on house price inflation of 28.5%, between August 2016 and February 2025, 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 28.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CHESTNUT COTTAGE of £885,000 on 5th August 2016. For the value to have increased from £885,000 to £1,137,556 over the nine years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CHESTNUT COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Sevenoaks local authority area.
• The August 2016 sale price of £885,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CHESTNUT COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2016.
