1 THE CROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Blackburn with Darwen local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 THE CROFT sales from March 1998 and March 2001 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 1998 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the March 2001 sale, where it falls to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.
