10 THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bridgend local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 10 THE FIRS sales between September 2000 and February 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 October 2010 sale was for 54% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% above the HPI over time, until the February 2017 sale, where it falls to 45% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% above the HPI.

What might 10 THE FIRS be worth now?

10 THE FIRS might now be worth an estimated £472,103.

This is based on house price inflation of 60%, between February 2017 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Bridgend local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 60% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 10 THE FIRS of £295,000 on 6th February 2017. For the value to have increased from £295,000 to £472,103 over the six years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 10 THE FIRS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bridgend local authority area.
• The February 2017 sale price of £295,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 10 THE FIRS has not materially changed since February 2017.
