8 SHEPHERDS CLOSE 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 8 SHEPHERDS CLOSE sales between October 1995 and October 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 October 1997 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the October 2024 sale, where it falls to 45% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% below the HPI.
