LILAC 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 LILAC COTTAGE sales from June 2000 and May 2016 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 June 2000 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it falls to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might LILAC COTTAGE be worth now?

LILAC COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £503,556.

This is based on house price inflation of 39.9%, between May 2016 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 39.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LILAC COTTAGE of £360,000 on 25th May 2016. For the value to have increased from £360,000 to £503,556 over the nine years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LILAC COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area.
• The May 2016 sale price of £360,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LILAC COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2016.
