5 WHITTAKER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Burnley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 5 WHITTAKER CLOSE sales between September 1998 and May 2016 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 2012 sale was for 54% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% above the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it rises to 77% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 77% above the HPI.

What might 5 WHITTAKER CLOSE be worth now?
