8 SOPWITH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bromley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 8 SOPWITH CLOSE sales between September 1999 and February 2021 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 October 2008 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.
