3 STARTS CLOSE 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 3 STARTS CLOSE sales between October 2005 and April 2024 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 March 2017 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the April 2024 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.
