21 VERULAM AVENUE 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 two 21 VERULAM AVENUE sales from July 1999 and May 2002 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 July 1999 sale was for 138% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 138% above the HPI over time, until the May 2002 sale, where it rises to 193% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 193% above the HPI.

What might 21 VERULAM AVENUE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 157.6%, between May 2002 and February 2025, 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 157.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 21 VERULAM AVENUE of £980,000 on 1st May 2002. For the value to have increased from £980,000 to £2,524,323 over the 23 years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 21 VERULAM AVENUE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Croydon local authority area.
• The May 2002 sale price of £980,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
