FIRCROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FIRCROFT sales from May 2012 and August 2018 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 2012 sale was for 137% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 137% above the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it falls to 117% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 117% above the HPI.

What might FIRCROFT be worth now?

FIRCROFT might now be worth an estimated £1,297,251.

This is based on house price inflation of 14.3%, between August 2018 and March 2025, for detached houses, in the Wealden local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 14.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FIRCROFT of £1,135,000 on 1st August 2018. For the value to have increased from £1,135,000 to £1,297,251 over the seven years and five months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FIRCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wealden local authority area.
• The August 2018 sale price of £1,135,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FIRCROFT has not materially changed since August 2018.
