8 WESTMINSTER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Blackburn with Darwen local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 8 WESTMINSTER CLOSE sales between October 1999 and February 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 September 2006 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the February 2011 sale, where it rises to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.

What might 8 WESTMINSTER CLOSE be worth now?
