18 BUTTERMERE 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 18 BUTTERMERE CLOSE sales from October 1996 and November 2015 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 October 1996 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the November 2015 sale, where it falls to 44% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% below the HPI.

What might 18 BUTTERMERE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 48.5%, between November 2015 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 48.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 BUTTERMERE CLOSE of £200,000 on 9th November 2015. For the value to have increased from £200,000 to £296,942 over the ten years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
