5 OSPREY 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 three 5 OSPREY CLOSE sales between July 2005 and August 2019 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 2019 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI.
