4 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 four 4 DOWNS CLOSE sales between September 1998 and August 2023 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 2003 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI.
