4 SAWLEY 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 4 SAWLEY CLOSE sales from May 1995 and February 2023 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 May 1995 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the February 2023 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI.
