The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Northamptonshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 KENSINGTON CLOSE sales between August 1999 and May 2011 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 November 2008 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the May 2011 sale, where it falls to 41% below the HPI.
