74B HIGHER DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Croydon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 74B HIGHER DRIVE sales between April 1995 and March 2023 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 2001 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the March 2023 sale, where it falls to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.

What might 74B HIGHER DRIVE be worth now?

74B HIGHER DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £637,266.

This is based on house price deflation of 3.4%, between March 2023 and May 2026, for semi-detached houses, in the Croydon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 3.4% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 74B HIGHER DRIVE of £660,000 on 17th March 2023. For the value to have decreased from £660,000 to £637,266 over the two years and ten months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 74B HIGHER DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Croydon local authority area.
• The March 2023 sale price of £660,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 74B HIGHER DRIVE has not materially changed since March 2023.
