3 CHAPEL CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 CHAPEL CLOSE sales from July 1998 and May 2005 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 July 1998 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the May 2005 sale, where it falls to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.

What might 3 CHAPEL CLOSE be worth now?

3 CHAPEL CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £547,895.

This is based on house price inflation of 95.7%, between May 2005 and March 2025, for 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 95.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 CHAPEL CLOSE of £280,000 on 25th May 2005. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £547,895 over the twenty years and two months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
