3 METCALFE 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 3 METCALFE CLOSE sales from February 2003 and January 2021 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 February 2003 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it falls to 29% below the HPI.
