18B THE DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bromley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18B THE DRIVE sales from September 2004 and June 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 September 2004 sale was for 60% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 60% below the HPI over time, until the June 2022 sale, where it falls to 68% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 68% below the HPI.
