THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dudley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE FIRS sales between July 1995 and June 2004 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 October 2001 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the June 2004 sale, where it falls to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might THE FIRS be worth now?

THE FIRS might now be worth an estimated £379,213.

This is based on house price inflation of 99.6%, between June 2004 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Dudley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 99.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE FIRS of £189,950 on 24th June 2004. For the value to have increased from £189,950 to £379,213 over the 21 years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE FIRS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dudley local authority area.
• The June 2004 sale price of £189,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE FIRS has not materially changed since June 2004.
