120 DOWNS ROAD 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 eight 120 DOWNS ROAD sales between May 1999 and November 2022 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 March 2021 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, which was also at 21% below the HPI.

What might 120 DOWNS ROAD be worth now?
