APRIL COTTAGE 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 three APRIL COTTAGE sales between December 2001 and October 2010 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 April 2002 sale was for 15% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% above the HPI over time, until the October 2010 sale, where it rises to 29% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% above the HPI.

What might APRIL COTTAGE be worth now?

APRIL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £683,297.

This is based on house price inflation of 77.5%, between October 2010 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 77.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for APRIL COTTAGE of £385,000 on 13th October 2010. For the value to have increased from £385,000 to £683,297 over the fifteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of APRIL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area.
• The October 2010 sale price of £385,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of APRIL COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2010.
