6 FIRS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Isle of Wight local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 6 FIRS CLOSE sales between March 1995 and December 2013 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 August 2000 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the December 2013 sale, where it falls to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.

What might 6 FIRS CLOSE be worth now?

6 FIRS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £264,885.

This is based on house price inflation of 55.8%, between December 2013 and July 2025, for detached houses, in the Isle of Wight local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 55.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 6 FIRS CLOSE of £170,000 on 20th December 2013. For the value to have increased from £170,000 to £264,885 over the twelve years and five months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 6 FIRS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Isle of Wight local authority area.
• The December 2013 sale price of £170,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
