4 THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Southampton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 4 THE FIRS sales between August 1995 and September 2021 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 May 2015 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it falls to 41% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% above the HPI.

What might 4 THE FIRS be worth now?

4 THE FIRS might now be worth an estimated £601,560.

This is based on house price inflation of 12.4%, between September 2021 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Southampton local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 12.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 THE FIRS of £535,000 on 21st September 2021. For the value to have increased from £535,000 to £601,560 over the two years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 THE FIRS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Southampton local authority area.
