17 MARTINIQUE DRIVE 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 17 MARTINIQUE DRIVE sales from May 2000 and December 2006 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 May 2000 sale was for 30% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% above the HPI over time, until the December 2006 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.
