17 DOUGLAS 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 three 17 DOUGLAS CLOSE sales between March 2001 and May 2024 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 March 2016 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, where it rises to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.
