53 BIRKDALE DRIVE 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 53 BIRKDALE DRIVE sales from August 2008 and August 2019 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 August 2008 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might 53 BIRKDALE DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 22.4%, between August 2019 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 22.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 53 BIRKDALE DRIVE of £335,000 on 2nd August 2019. For the value to have increased from £335,000 to £410,119 over the six years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
