COOMBE 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 COOMBE COTTAGE sales from January 1999 and December 2024 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 1999 sale was for 55% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 55% above the HPI over time, until the December 2024 sale, where it falls to 43% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% above the HPI.

What might COOMBE COTTAGE be worth now?

COOMBE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £756,941.

This is based on house price deflation of 1.4%, between December 2024 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 1.4% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for COOMBE COTTAGE of £767,500 on 17th December 2024. For the value to have decreased from £767,500 to £756,941 over the one year and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of COOMBE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area.
• The December 2024 sale price of £767,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
