BIRCH COTTAGE 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 BIRCH COTTAGE sales from December 2013 and October 2019 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 December 2013 sale was for 73% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 73% above the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it rises to 135% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 135% above the HPI.
