QUEENSWOOD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two QUEENSWOOD sales from December 1996 and August 1998 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 December 1996 sale was for 158% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 158% above the HPI over time, until the August 1998 sale, where it falls to 129% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 129% above the HPI.

What might QUEENSWOOD be worth now?

QUEENSWOOD might now be worth an estimated £1,367,649.

This is based on house price inflation of 296.4%, between August 1998 and March 2025, for detached houses, in the Wealden local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 296.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for QUEENSWOOD of £345,000 on 28th August 1998. For the value to have increased from £345,000 to £1,367,649 over the 27 years and five months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of QUEENSWOOD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wealden local authority area.
• The August 1998 sale price of £345,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of QUEENSWOOD has not materially changed since August 1998.
