FORDWICH 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 FORDWICH sales between October 2002 and April 2018 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 August 2013 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the April 2018 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might FORDWICH be worth now?

FORDWICH might now be worth an estimated £525,714.

This is based on house price inflation of 25.2%, between April 2018 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 25.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FORDWICH of £420,000 on 17th April 2018. For the value to have increased from £420,000 to £525,714 over the seven years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FORDWICH has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area.
• The April 2018 sale price of £420,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FORDWICH has not materially changed since April 2018.
