242 LIMPSFIELD ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Croydon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 242 LIMPSFIELD ROAD sales from February 2004 and May 2013 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 February 2004 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, where it rises to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.

What might 242 LIMPSFIELD ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 83.5%, between May 2013 and February 2025, for semi-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 83.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 242 LIMPSFIELD ROAD of £399,950 on 17th May 2013. For the value to have increased from £399,950 to £733,722 over the twelve years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
