24 SPIRE 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 two 24 SPIRE CLOSE sales from December 1996 and January 2016 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 1996 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the January 2016 sale, where it falls to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.
