FORGE 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 FORGE COTTAGE sales between April 1999 and June 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 2002 sale was for 20% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% above the HPI over time, until the June 2016 sale, where it falls to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.
