85 DOWNS HILL 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 85 DOWNS HILL sales between December 1995 and October 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 May 2016 sale was for 44% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% above the HPI over time, until the October 2023 sale, where it falls to 39% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% above the HPI.
