70 RIDDLESDOWN AVENUE 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 70 RIDDLESDOWN AVENUE sales from July 1999 and May 2001 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 July 1999 sale was for 50% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% below the HPI over time, until the May 2001 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 70 RIDDLESDOWN AVENUE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 202.8%, between May 2001 and February 2025, for 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 202.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 70 RIDDLESDOWN AVENUE of £240,000 on 18th May 2001. For the value to have increased from £240,000 to £726,671 over the 24 years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
