8 DRIFTWOOD 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 8 DRIFTWOOD DRIVE sales from November 1998 and October 2006 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 November 1998 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the October 2006 sale, where it rises to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.

What might 8 DRIFTWOOD DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 96.3%, between October 2006 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 96.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 DRIFTWOOD DRIVE of £450,000 on 12th October 2006. For the value to have increased from £450,000 to £883,447 over the nineteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
