3 DOWNS 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 3 DOWNS CLOSE sales from January 1999 and November 2011 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 1999 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the November 2011 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.

What might 3 DOWNS CLOSE be worth now?

3 DOWNS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £384,726.

This is based on house price inflation of 87.7%, between November 2011 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 87.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 DOWNS CLOSE of £205,000 on 4th November 2011. For the value to have increased from £205,000 to £384,726 over the fourteen years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 DOWNS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area.
• The November 2011 sale price of £205,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
