WESTERLEYS 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 WESTERLEYS sales from April 1995 and August 2020 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 April 1995 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the August 2020 sale, where it rises to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.

What might WESTERLEYS be worth now?

WESTERLEYS might now be worth an estimated £786,003.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.6%, between August 2020 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 18.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WESTERLEYS of £662,500 on 21st August 2020. For the value to have increased from £662,500 to £786,003 over the five years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WESTERLEYS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area.
• The August 2020 sale price of £662,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WESTERLEYS has not materially changed since August 2020.
