ROOKS WOOD 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 three ROOKS WOOD sales between June 1997 and September 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 January 2021 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the September 2024 sale, where it rises to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.

What might ROOKS WOOD be worth now?

ROOKS WOOD might now be worth an estimated £1,403,624.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.3%, between September 2024 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Bromley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 0.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ROOKS WOOD of £1,400,000 on 19th September 2024. For the value to have increased from £1,400,000 to £1,403,624 over the one year and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ROOKS WOOD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bromley local authority area.
• The September 2024 sale price of £1,400,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ROOKS WOOD has not materially changed since September 2024.
