40 THE CRESCENT 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 three 40 THE CRESCENT sales between July 2002 and July 2017 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 July 2004 sale was for 21% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% above the HPI over time, until the July 2017 sale, where it falls to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.

What might 40 THE CRESCENT be worth now?

40 THE CRESCENT might now be worth an estimated £366,873.

This is based on house price inflation of 31%, between July 2017 and February 2025, 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 31% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 40 THE CRESCENT of £280,000 on 21st July 2017. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £366,873 over the eight years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 40 THE CRESCENT has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area.
• The July 2017 sale price of £280,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
