7 ELGAR 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 three 7 ELGAR CLOSE sales between March 1995 and August 2018 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 February 2007 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it rises to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 7 ELGAR CLOSE be worth now?
