SIMONS 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 SIMONS COTTAGE sales from June 2006 and May 2013 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 2006 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, where it rises to 39% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% above the HPI.
