Land registry data shows three sales for COPTHORNE since 1st January 1995. The below table shows the price paid for the three sales, along with the average detached price in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area for the corresponding sale date. All of the three COPTHORNE sales were for above the average price. The average price is sourced from the Office for National Statistics' House Price Index (HPI).
Date | Price | HPI Price | Variation from HPI |

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three COPTHORNE sales between April 2001 and June 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 March 2004 sale was for 146% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 146% above the HPI over time, until the June 2013 sale, where it rises to 231% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 231% above the HPI.
