42 HIGHER DRIVE 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 two 42 HIGHER DRIVE sales from June 2001 and August 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 June 2001 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the August 2024 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.
