74B 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 four 74B HIGHER DRIVE sales between April 1995 and March 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 March 2001 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the March 2023 sale, where it falls to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.
