13 WHIMBREL CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Croydon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 13 WHIMBREL CLOSE sales between January 1998 and March 2016 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 1999 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might 13 WHIMBREL CLOSE be worth now?

13 WHIMBREL CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £637,850.

This is based on house price inflation of 16%, between March 2016 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Croydon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 16% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 13 WHIMBREL CLOSE of £550,000 on 29th March 2016. For the value to have increased from £550,000 to £637,850 over the seven years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 13 WHIMBREL CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Croydon local authority area.
• The March 2016 sale price of £550,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 13 WHIMBREL CLOSE has not materially changed since March 2016.
