26 BENCH FIELD 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 four 26 BENCH FIELD sales between July 1999 and September 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 June 2016 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.
