THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tendring local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE FIRS sales between May 2000 and November 2017 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 September 2014 sale was for 51% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% above the HPI over time, until the November 2017 sale, where it falls to 38% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% above the HPI.

What might THE FIRS be worth now?

THE FIRS might now be worth an estimated £523,821.

This is based on house price inflation of 21.8%, between November 2017 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Tendring local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 21.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE FIRS of £430,000 on 27th November 2017. For the value to have increased from £430,000 to £523,821 over the eight years and nine 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 Tendring local authority area.
• The November 2017 sale price of £430,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE FIRS has not materially changed since November 2017.
