SIMONSIDE 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 SIMONSIDE sales from August 2018 and April 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 August 2018 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the April 2022 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might SIMONSIDE be worth now?

SIMONSIDE might now be worth an estimated £435,637.

This is based on house price deflation of 3.2%, between April 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 3.2% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for SIMONSIDE of £450,000 on 27th April 2022. For the value to have decreased from £450,000 to £435,637 over the three years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SIMONSIDE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area.
• The April 2022 sale price of £450,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SIMONSIDE has not materially changed since April 2022.
