8 MELFORT 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 two 8 MELFORT CLOSE sales from September 1998 and September 2000 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 September 1998 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the September 2000 sale, where it rises to 10% above the HPI.
