DOLPHIN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Folkestone and Hythe local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four DOLPHIN COTTAGE sales between October 1997 and April 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 December 2010 sale was for 57% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 57% above the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it rises to 62% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 62% above the HPI.
