5 WESTMINSTER 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 WESTMINSTER CLOSE sales between March 2000 and November 2012 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 2007 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the November 2012 sale, where it rises to 20% below the HPI.
