70 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 70 DOWNS ROAD sales from December 2009 and May 2013 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 2009 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, where it rises to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.

What might 70 DOWNS ROAD be worth now?
