237 WHALLEY OLD ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Blackburn with Darwen local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 237 WHALLEY OLD ROAD sales between June 2001 and March 2003 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 December 2002 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the March 2003 sale, where it falls to 37% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% below the HPI.
