3 BARGEE 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 three 3 BARGEE CLOSE sales between June 1996 and March 2004 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 1998 sale was for 46% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% below the HPI over time, until the March 2004 sale, where it rises to 37% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% below the HPI.
