28 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 seven 28 KENSINGTON CLOSE sales between April 2001 and February 2024 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 October 2014 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the February 2024 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.
