The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Blackburn with Darwen local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 56 MINSTER CRESCENT sales from December 1995 and October 2006 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 December 1995 sale was for 61% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 61% above the HPI over time, until the October 2006 sale, where it falls to 48% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 48% above the HPI.
56 MINSTER CRESCENT might now be worth an estimated £257,837.

The 57.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 56 MINSTER CRESCENT of £164,000 on 10th October 2006. For the value to have increased from £164,000 to £257,837 over the seventeen years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
