2 FIRS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cotswold local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 FIRS CLOSE sales from November 1998 and August 2013 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 November 1998 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the August 2013 sale, where it falls to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.

What might 2 FIRS CLOSE be worth now?

2 FIRS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £525,078.

This is based on house price inflation of 61.6%, between August 2013 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cotswold local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 61.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 FIRS CLOSE of £325,000 on 9th August 2013. For the value to have increased from £325,000 to £525,078 over the twelve years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 FIRS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cotswold local authority area.
• The August 2013 sale price of £325,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 FIRS CLOSE has not materially changed since August 2013.
