2 STURDY CLOSE 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 2 STURDY CLOSE sales from June 2005 and June 2013 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 June 2005 sale was for 31% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% above the HPI over time, until the June 2013 sale, where it rises to 36% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% above the HPI.

What might 2 STURDY CLOSE be worth now?

2 STURDY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £459,829.

This is based on house price inflation of 85.4%, between June 2013 and June 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 85.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 STURDY CLOSE of £248,000 on 7th June 2013. For the value to have increased from £248,000 to £459,829 over the twelve years to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 STURDY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area.
• The June 2013 sale price of £248,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
