HILL CREST 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 HILL CREST sales from September 2003 and February 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 September 2003 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it rises to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.

What might HILL CREST be worth now?

HILL CREST might now be worth an estimated £577,979.

This is based on house price inflation of 12.8%, between February 2021 and June 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 12.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HILL CREST of £512,500 on 19th February 2021. For the value to have increased from £512,500 to £577,979 over the three years and eight months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HILL CREST has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area.
• The February 2021 sale price of £512,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HILL CREST has not materially changed since February 2021.
