12 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 12 MELVILLE AVENUE sales from January 2002 and August 2014 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the January 2002 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it falls to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.
