6 METCALFE 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 6 METCALFE CLOSE sales between December 2002 and June 2020 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 February 2005 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the June 2020 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.
