12 RECTORY CLOSE 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 RECTORY CLOSE sales from June 1996 and October 2021 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 June 1996 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the October 2021 sale, where it falls to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.

What might 12 RECTORY CLOSE be worth now?
