28 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 three 28 DOWNS ROAD sales between November 1997 and November 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 December 2013 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the November 2015 sale, where it falls to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.

What might 28 DOWNS ROAD be worth now?
