278 MAIN ROAD 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 278 MAIN ROAD sales between April 2001 and April 2014 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 2007 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the April 2014 sale, where it falls to 53% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 53% below the HPI.

What might 278 MAIN ROAD be worth now?
