THORNFIELD 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 two THORNFIELD sales from October 1998 and September 2015 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 1998 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the September 2015 sale, where it falls to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.
