3 THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 3 THE FIRS sales between July 2009 and January 2023 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 March 2016 sale was for 35% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% above the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it falls to 28% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% above the HPI.

What might 3 THE FIRS be worth now?

3 THE FIRS might now be worth an estimated £624,606.

This is based on house price inflation of 6.8%, between January 2023 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 6.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 THE FIRS of £585,000 on 16th January 2023. For the value to have increased from £585,000 to £624,606 over the one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 THE FIRS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area.
• The January 2023 sale price of £585,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 3 THE FIRS has not materially changed since January 2023.
