8 CASTLE ROAD 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 8 CASTLE ROAD sales from September 2005 and October 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 September 2005 sale was for 86% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 86% above the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it rises to 141% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 141% above the HPI.
