42 RAVENSHEAD CLOSE 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 RAVENSHEAD CLOSE sales from April 1997 and February 2023 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 April 1997 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the February 2023 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.
