4 OPAL CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Blackpool local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 4 OPAL CLOSE sales between March 1998 and May 2014 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 November 2004 sale was for 35% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% above the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it rises to 52% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% above the HPI.
