85 THE DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Croydon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 85 THE DRIVE sales between October 1996 and November 2014 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 2000 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the November 2014 sale, where it falls to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.

What might 85 THE DRIVE be worth now?

85 THE DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £360,100.

This is based on house price inflation of 44%, between November 2014 and February 2025, for semi-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 44% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 85 THE DRIVE of £250,000 on 14th November 2014. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £360,100 over the eleven years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 85 THE DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Croydon local authority area.
• The November 2014 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 85 THE DRIVE has not materially changed since November 2014.
