3 GARDNER 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 three 3 GARDNER CLOSE sales between November 2002 and January 2019 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 November 2009 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the January 2019 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might 3 GARDNER CLOSE be worth now?

3 GARDNER CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £472,833.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.1%, between January 2019 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 19.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 GARDNER CLOSE of £397,000 on 28th January 2019. For the value to have increased from £397,000 to £472,833 over the five years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
