6 MARTHA 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 6 MARTHA CLOSE sales between November 1999 and October 2016 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 September 2012 sale was for 54% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% above the HPI over time, until the October 2016 sale, where it rises to 58% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 58% above the HPI.

What might 6 MARTHA CLOSE be worth now?

6 MARTHA CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £539,704.

This is based on house price inflation of 37.7%, between October 2016 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 37.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 6 MARTHA CLOSE of £392,000 on 31st October 2016. For the value to have increased from £392,000 to £539,704 over the ten years and six months to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 6 MARTHA CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area.
• The October 2016 sale price of £392,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
