25 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 25 THE DRIVE sales from October 1997 and May 2004 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 1997 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the May 2004 sale, where it rises to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.
