20 VALEBROOK 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 20 VALEBROOK CLOSE sales from August 2007 and August 2017 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 August 2007 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, where it rises to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.
