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 53 HIGHER CROFT ROAD sales from October 1997 and February 2018 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the October 1997 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI.
