5 FIR CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cornwall local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 FIR CLOSE sales from November 2015 and September 2017 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 2015 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the September 2017 sale, where it rises to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.

What might 5 FIR CLOSE be worth now?

5 FIR CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £354,400.

This is based on house price inflation of 33.7%, between September 2017 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cornwall local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 33.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 FIR CLOSE of £265,000 on 29th September 2017. For the value to have increased from £265,000 to £354,400 over the eight years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 FIR CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cornwall local authority area.
