2 MOORCROFT 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 four 2 MOORCROFT sales between June 2003 and December 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 October 2017 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the December 2023 sale, where it rises to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.
