5 KENT CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Barnsley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 5 KENT CLOSE sales between November 1996 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 May 2014 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the May 2021 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI.
