2 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 2 KENSINGTON CLOSE sales from June 2001 and September 2007 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 June 2001 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the September 2007 sale, where it falls to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might 2 KENSINGTON CLOSE be worth now?
