20 CASTLE 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 two 20 CASTLE ROAD sales from March 2011 and February 2014 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 2011 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the February 2014 sale, where it rises to 69% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 69% above the HPI.
