TREETOPS 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 three TREETOPS sales between October 2007 and May 2018 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 November 2014 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the May 2018 sale, where it falls to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might TREETOPS be worth now?

TREETOPS might now be worth an estimated £504,827.

This is based on house price inflation of 24.6%, between May 2018 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 24.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for TREETOPS of £405,000 on 25th May 2018. For the value to have increased from £405,000 to £504,827 over the seven years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of TREETOPS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area.
• The May 2018 sale price of £405,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of TREETOPS has not materially changed since May 2018.
