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 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the October 2010 sale, where it rises to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.
