247 DOWNS ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 247 DOWNS ROAD sales between May 1995 and September 2015 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 2007 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the September 2015 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.
