5 BITTERN 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 5 BITTERN CLOSE sales from June 2003 and November 2016 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 91% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 91% above the HPI over time, until the November 2016 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.
