LITTLE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rochford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LITTLE FIRS sales from July 1996 and June 2007 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 July 1996 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the June 2007 sale, where it rises to 45% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% above the HPI.

What might LITTLE FIRS be worth now?

LITTLE FIRS might now be worth an estimated £895,237.

This is based on house price inflation of 79%, between June 2007 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Rochford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 79% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LITTLE FIRS of £499,995 on 11th June 2007. For the value to have increased from £499,995 to £895,237 over the sixteen years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LITTLE FIRS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rochford local authority area.
• The June 2007 sale price of £499,995 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LITTLE FIRS has not materially changed since June 2007.
