5 THE ACERS 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 THE ACERS sales from March 2013 and April 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 March 2013 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the April 2017 sale, where it falls to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.

What might 5 THE ACERS be worth now?

5 THE ACERS might now be worth an estimated £671,430.

This is based on house price inflation of 34.3%, between April 2017 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 34.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE ACERS of £500,000 on 13th April 2017. For the value to have increased from £500,000 to £671,430 over the eight years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 THE ACERS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area.
• The April 2017 sale price of £500,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 THE ACERS has not materially changed since April 2017.
