16 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 two 16 DOWNS ROAD sales from October 2006 and August 2011 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 October 2006 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the August 2011 sale, where it rises to 23% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% above the HPI.

What might 16 DOWNS ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 93.7%, between August 2011 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 93.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 DOWNS ROAD of £218,500 on 19th August 2011. For the value to have increased from £218,500 to £423,263 over the fourteen years and five months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
