5 BESANT 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 5 BESANT CLOSE sales from June 2002 and April 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 June 2002 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the April 2004 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.
