OLD SCHOOL HOUSE 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 OLD SCHOOL HOUSE sales between May 1996 and November 2005 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 1997 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the November 2005 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might OLD SCHOOL HOUSE be worth now?

OLD SCHOOL HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £455,240.

This is based on house price inflation of 95.4%, between November 2005 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 95.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OLD SCHOOL HOUSE of £233,000 on 11th November 2005. For the value to have increased from £233,000 to £455,240 over the twenty years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
