8 FORRESTSIDE 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 8 FORRESTSIDE sales between October 2001 and November 2008 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 May 2003 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the November 2008 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
