11 LAUREL 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 two 11 LAUREL CLOSE sales from February 2014 and October 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 February 2014 sale was for 47% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% below the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it rises to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.

What might 11 LAUREL CLOSE be worth now?

11 LAUREL CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £351,073.

This is based on house price inflation of 31%, between October 2017 and December 2024, 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 31% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 11 LAUREL CLOSE of £268,000 on 27th October 2017. For the value to have increased from £268,000 to £351,073 over the six years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 11 LAUREL CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area.
• The October 2017 sale price of £268,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
