1 FIRS END Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 FIRS END sales from July 2004 and January 2016 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 July 2004 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the January 2016 sale, where it falls to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.

What might 1 FIRS END be worth now?

1 FIRS END might now be worth an estimated £427,875.

This is based on house price inflation of 27.7%, between January 2016 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the West Berkshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 27.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 FIRS END of £335,000 on 29th January 2016. For the value to have increased from £335,000 to £427,875 over the seven years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 FIRS END has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The January 2016 sale price of £335,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 FIRS END has not materially changed since January 2016.
