BROOK 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 two BROOK COTTAGE sales from January 2015 and June 2021 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 January 2015 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it rises to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might BROOK COTTAGE be worth now?

BROOK COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £599,555.

This is based on house price inflation of 11%, between June 2021 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 11% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BROOK COTTAGE of £540,000 on 8th June 2021. For the value to have increased from £540,000 to £599,555 over the four years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BROOK COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area.
• The June 2021 sale price of £540,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BROOK COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2021.
