11 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 two 11 THE FIRS sales from December 1999 and November 2007 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 December 1999 sale was for 64% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 64% above the HPI over time, until the November 2007 sale, where it falls to 46% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% above the HPI.

What might 11 THE FIRS be worth now?

11 THE FIRS might now be worth an estimated £476,160.

This is based on house price inflation of 69.8%, between November 2007 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 69.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 11 THE FIRS of £280,500 on 15th November 2007. For the value to have increased from £280,500 to £476,160 over the sixteen years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 11 THE FIRS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bridgend local authority area.
• The November 2007 sale price of £280,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 11 THE FIRS has not materially changed since November 2007.
