The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Blackburn with Darwen local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 8 SAWLEY CLOSE sales between June 1995 and March 2021 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 August 2019 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it rises to 22% above the HPI.
