5 FIRBARN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rochdale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 FIRBARN CLOSE sales from December 1995 and January 2010 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 December 1995 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the January 2010 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 5 FIRBARN CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 86.7%, between January 2010 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Rochdale local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 86.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 FIRBARN CLOSE of £158,000 on 19th January 2010. For the value to have increased from £158,000 to £294,925 over the fourteen years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
