20 CHANNEL 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 four 20 CHANNEL CLOSE sales between April 1997 and October 2020 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 January 2015 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it rises to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might 20 CHANNEL CLOSE be worth now?

20 CHANNEL CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £354,023.

This is based on house price inflation of 20%, between October 2020 and December 2024, for semi-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 20% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 CHANNEL CLOSE of £295,000 on 30th October 2020. For the value to have increased from £295,000 to £354,023 over the three years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 20 CHANNEL CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area.
• The October 2020 sale price of £295,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
