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 THREE BEARS COTTAGE sales from January 1998 and March 2022 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the January 1998 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the March 2022 sale, where it rises to 18% above the HPI.
