5 IVY 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 four 5 IVY CLOSE sales between June 1998 and July 2024 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 October 2017 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the July 2024 sale, where it rises to 28% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% above the HPI.

What might 5 IVY CLOSE be worth now?

5 IVY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £434,544.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.2%, between July 2024 and February 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 2.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 IVY CLOSE of £425,000 on 19th July 2024. For the value to have increased from £425,000 to £434,544 over the one year and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 IVY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area.
• The July 2024 sale price of £425,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 IVY CLOSE has not materially changed since July 2024.
