FIRCROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four FIRCROFT sales between October 2005 and February 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 August 2017 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it rises to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might FIRCROFT be worth now?

FIRCROFT might now be worth an estimated £310,998.

This is based on house price inflation of 26.9%, between February 2018 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Torridge local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 26.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FIRCROFT of £245,000 on 21st February 2018. For the value to have increased from £245,000 to £310,998 over the seven years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FIRCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torridge local authority area.
• The February 2018 sale price of £245,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FIRCROFT has not materially changed since February 2018.
