1 THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cannock Chase local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 THE FIRS sales from August 1997 and July 2017 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 1997 sale was for 43% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% above the HPI over time, until the July 2017 sale, where it falls to 40% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% above the HPI.

What might 1 THE FIRS be worth now?

1 THE FIRS might now be worth an estimated £473,919.

This is based on house price inflation of 49.3%, between July 2017 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cannock Chase local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 49.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 THE FIRS of £317,500 on 19th July 2017. For the value to have increased from £317,500 to £473,919 over the eight years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 THE FIRS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cannock Chase local authority area.
• The July 2017 sale price of £317,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 THE FIRS has not materially changed since July 2017.
