LIHOU 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 LIHOU sales from March 2020 and July 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 2020 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it rises to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.
