11 MELVILLE AVENUE 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 11 MELVILLE AVENUE sales from May 2001 and May 2015 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 May 2001 sale was for 30% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% above the HPI over time, until the May 2015 sale, where it falls to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.
