12 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 12 THE FIRS sales between October 2001 and April 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 September 2012 sale was for 44% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% above the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it falls to 36% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% above the HPI.

What might 12 THE FIRS be worth now?

12 THE FIRS might now be worth an estimated £447,892.

This is based on house price inflation of 67.7%, between April 2016 and February 2025, 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 67.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 THE FIRS of £267,000 on 7th April 2016. For the value to have increased from £267,000 to £447,892 over the nine years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 12 THE FIRS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bridgend local authority area.
• The April 2016 sale price of £267,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 12 THE FIRS has not materially changed since April 2016.
