42 ABBEY CRESCENT 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 42 ABBEY CRESCENT sales from April 2013 and November 2015 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 April 2013 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the November 2015 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might 42 ABBEY CRESCENT be worth now?
