28 DOWNSWAY 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 28 DOWNSWAY sales from February 2010 and October 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 2010 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the October 2013 sale, where it rises to 47% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% above the HPI.

What might 28 DOWNSWAY be worth now?

28 DOWNSWAY might now be worth an estimated £802,495.

This is based on house price inflation of 72.6%, between October 2013 and December 2024, 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 72.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 28 DOWNSWAY of £465,000 on 24th October 2013. For the value to have increased from £465,000 to £802,495 over the ten years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 28 DOWNSWAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Croydon local authority area.
• The October 2013 sale price of £465,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
