SALTWOOD HOUSE 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 SALTWOOD HOUSE COTTAGE sales from May 2009 and September 2022 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 May 2009 sale was for 50% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% above the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, where it falls to 25% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% above the HPI.

What might SALTWOOD HOUSE COTTAGE be worth now?

This is based on house price deflation of 4.5%, between September 2022 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 4.5% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for SALTWOOD HOUSE COTTAGE of £690,000 on 16th September 2022. For the value to have decreased from £690,000 to £659,258 over the three years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
