18 MERLIN ROAD 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 18 MERLIN ROAD sales from November 2002 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 November 2002 sale was for 108% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 108% above the HPI over time, until the December 2006 sale, where it falls to 95% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 95% above the HPI.
