HIGHFIELD 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 HIGHFIELD sales from December 1999 and January 2008 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 December 1999 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the January 2008 sale, where it rises to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.

What might HIGHFIELD be worth now?

HIGHFIELD might now be worth an estimated £549,344.

This is based on house price inflation of 64%, between January 2008 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 64% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGHFIELD of £335,000 on 7th January 2008. For the value to have increased from £335,000 to £549,344 over the sixteen years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGHFIELD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area.
• The January 2008 sale price of £335,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGHFIELD has not materially changed since January 2008.
