14 VALEBROOK CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 14 VALEBROOK CLOSE sales between December 2002 and October 2013 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 July 2006 sale was for 36% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% above the HPI over time, until the October 2013 sale, where it falls to 31% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% above the HPI.

What might 14 VALEBROOK CLOSE be worth now?
