1 DOWNS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 1 DOWNS CLOSE sales between April 2000 and September 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 April 2007 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the September 2017 sale, where it rises to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might 1 DOWNS CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 28.6%, between September 2017 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 28.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 DOWNS CLOSE of £392,000 on 26th September 2017. For the value to have increased from £392,000 to £503,961 over the eight years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
