CROUCHER 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 CROUCHER COTTAGE sales from July 1998 and March 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 July 1998 sale was for 125% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 125% above the HPI over time, until the March 2010 sale, where it falls to 117% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 117% above the HPI.

What might CROUCHER COTTAGE be worth now?

CROUCHER COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,145,139.

This is based on house price inflation of 83.2%, between March 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 83.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CROUCHER COTTAGE of £625,000 on 30th March 2010. For the value to have increased from £625,000 to £1,145,139 over the fifteen years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CROUCHER COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area.
• The March 2010 sale price of £625,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CROUCHER COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 2010.
