5 THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Trafford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 THE FIRS sales between March 1998 and May 2016 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 2014 sale was for 467% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 467% above the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it rises to 501% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 501% above the HPI.

What might 5 THE FIRS be worth now?

5 THE FIRS might now be worth an estimated £2,592,874.

This is based on house price inflation of 64.1%, between May 2016 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Trafford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 64.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE FIRS of £1,580,000 on 26th May 2016. For the value to have increased from £1,580,000 to £2,592,874 over the nine years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 THE FIRS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Trafford local authority area.
• The May 2016 sale price of £1,580,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
