5 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 four 5 KENSINGTON CLOSE sales between November 2001 and September 2022 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 2014 sale was for 21% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% above the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, where it rises to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.
