8 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 six 8 BITTERN CLOSE sales between June 2005 and January 2018 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 2017 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the January 2018 sale, where it rises to 33% above the HPI.
