TARQUA 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 TARQUA sales from October 1998 and May 2011 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 1998 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the May 2011 sale, where it rises to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.

What might TARQUA be worth now?

TARQUA might now be worth an estimated £556,316.

This is based on house price inflation of 90.2%, between May 2011 and December 2024, 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 90.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for TARQUA of £292,500 on 18th May 2011. For the value to have increased from £292,500 to £556,316 over the twelve years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of TARQUA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area.
• The May 2011 sale price of £292,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of TARQUA has not materially changed since May 2011.
