14 SPIRE 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 SPIRE CLOSE sales from August 1997 and September 2023 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 August 1997 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the September 2023 sale, where it falls to 23% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% above the HPI.
