44 FIRS LANE 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 44 FIRS LANE sales between April 1997 and March 2007 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 June 2003 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the March 2007 sale, which was also at 32% below the HPI.

What might 44 FIRS LANE be worth now?

44 FIRS LANE might now be worth an estimated £357,015.

This is based on house price inflation of 82.2%, between March 2007 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 82.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 44 FIRS LANE of £196,000 on 15th March 2007. For the value to have increased from £196,000 to £357,015 over the eighteen years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 44 FIRS LANE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area.
• The March 2007 sale price of £196,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
