16 AMHERST CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Bromley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 16 AMHERST CLOSE sales from March 2007 and September 2013 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 2007 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the September 2013 sale, where it falls to 37% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% below the HPI.

What might 16 AMHERST CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 75.6%, between September 2013 and February 2025, for semi-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 75.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 AMHERST CLOSE of £232,500 on 6th September 2013. For the value to have increased from £232,500 to £408,214 over the twelve years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
