1 DOWNS ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 1 DOWNS ROAD sales between August 2003 and December 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 2019 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might 1 DOWNS ROAD be worth now?

1 DOWNS ROAD might now be worth an estimated £307,936.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.3%, between December 2020 and March 2025, for semi-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 17.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 DOWNS ROAD of £262,500 on 22nd December 2020. For the value to have increased from £262,500 to £307,936 over the five years and nine months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 DOWNS ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area.
• The December 2020 sale price of £262,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
