VARNE 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 VARNE sales from February 2001 and May 2012 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 February 2001 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the May 2012 sale, where it rises to 39% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% above the HPI.

What might VARNE be worth now?

VARNE might now be worth an estimated £733,424.

This is based on house price inflation of 83.4%, between May 2012 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 83.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for VARNE of £400,000 on 1st May 2012. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £733,424 over the thirteen years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of VARNE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area.
• The May 2012 sale price of £400,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of VARNE has not materially changed since May 2012.
