THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Uttlesford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE FIRS sales from June 1998 and April 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 June 1998 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the April 2018 sale, where it falls to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might THE FIRS be worth now?

THE FIRS might now be worth an estimated £635,098.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.2%, between April 2018 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Uttlesford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 17.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE FIRS of £542,000 on 16th April 2018. For the value to have increased from £542,000 to £635,098 over the seven years and two 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 Uttlesford local authority area.
• The April 2018 sale price of £542,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE FIRS has not materially changed since April 2018.
