52 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 two 52 DOWNS ROAD sales from March 1999 and September 2019 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 March 1999 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the September 2019 sale, where it falls to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might 52 DOWNS ROAD be worth now?

52 DOWNS ROAD might now be worth an estimated £330,844.

This is based on house price inflation of 23.7%, between September 2019 and April 2026, 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 23.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 52 DOWNS ROAD of £267,500 on 23rd September 2019. For the value to have increased from £267,500 to £330,844 over the seven years and five months to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:
