8 KENSINGTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Oadby and Wigston local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 8 KENSINGTON CLOSE sales between April 2002 and April 2017 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 August 2014 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the April 2017 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI.
