2 THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Shropshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 THE FIRS sales from August 2003 and January 2006 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 2003 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the January 2006 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might 2 THE FIRS be worth now?

2 THE FIRS might now be worth an estimated £401,605.

This is based on house price inflation of 65.6%, between January 2006 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Shropshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 65.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 THE FIRS of £242,500 on 19th January 2006. For the value to have increased from £242,500 to £401,605 over the eighteen years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 THE FIRS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Shropshire local authority area.
• The January 2006 sale price of £242,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 THE FIRS has not materially changed since January 2006.
