3 DOUGLAS 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 3 DOUGLAS CLOSE sales from August 2000 and October 2002 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 2000 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the October 2002 sale, where it rises to 45% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% above the HPI.
