6 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 five 6 AMHERST CLOSE sales between July 2002 and January 2021 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 May 2012 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it falls to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.

What might 6 AMHERST CLOSE be worth now?
