85 HIGHER CROFT ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

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 85 HIGHER CROFT ROAD sales from September 2009 and June 2010 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 2009 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the June 2010 sale, where it falls to 14% above the HPI.
