1 KENSINGTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Halton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 KENSINGTON CLOSE sales from September 2001 and November 2017 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 2001 sale was for 38% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% above the HPI over time, until the November 2017 sale, where it falls to 36% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% above the HPI.

What might 1 KENSINGTON CLOSE be worth now?
