18 KENSINGTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Hastings local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 KENSINGTON CLOSE sales from November 2001 and May 2021 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 November 2001 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the May 2021 sale, where it falls to 30% below the HPI.
