LONGFIELD 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 LONGFIELD sales between June 2005 and September 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 October 2010 sale was for 100% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 100% above the HPI over time, until the September 2016 sale, where it falls to 67% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 67% above the HPI.

What might LONGFIELD be worth now?

LONGFIELD might now be worth an estimated £883,668.

This is based on house price inflation of 33.9%, between September 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 33.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LONGFIELD of £660,000 on 16th September 2016. For the value to have increased from £660,000 to £883,668 over the nine years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LONGFIELD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area.
• The September 2016 sale price of £660,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LONGFIELD has not materially changed since September 2016.
