9 THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 9 THE FIRS sales between April 2000 and January 2025 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 June 2006 sale was for 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the January 2025 sale, which was also at 42% below the HPI.

What might 9 THE FIRS be worth now?

9 THE FIRS might now be worth an estimated £312,390.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.8%, between January 2025 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Bedford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 0.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 9 THE FIRS of £310,000 on 6th January 2025. For the value to have increased from £310,000 to £312,390 over the eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 9 THE FIRS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bedford local authority area.
• The January 2025 sale price of £310,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 9 THE FIRS has not materially changed since January 2025.
