20 MERE CLOSE 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 three 20 MERE CLOSE sales between March 2005 and March 2018 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 June 2011 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the March 2018 sale, which was also at 15% below the HPI.
