14 BENTHAM 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 14 BENTHAM CLOSE sales from November 2005 and March 2017 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 November 2005 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the March 2017 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI.
