THE CROFT 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 THE CROFT sales between January 2003 and August 2009 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 July 2003 sale was for 184% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 184% above the HPI over time, until the August 2009 sale, where it falls to 124% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 124% above the HPI.
