27 RECTORY 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 27 RECTORY CLOSE sales from March 2013 and February 2024 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 March 2013 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the February 2024 sale, where it rises to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.
