DONKEY DOWN 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 DONKEY DOWN sales from September 2014 and May 2024 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 September 2014 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, where it rises to 36% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% above the HPI.
