THE SANCTUARY 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 SANCTUARY sales between February 1996 and August 2011 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 October 2007 sale was for 142% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 142% above the HPI over time, until the August 2011 sale, where it rises to 208% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 208% above the HPI.
