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 two THE FIRS sales from April 2002 and August 2003 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 April 2002 sale was for 87% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 87% above the HPI over time, until the August 2003 sale, where it falls to 82% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 82% above the HPI.

What might THE FIRS be worth now?

THE FIRS might now be worth an estimated £629,699.

This is based on house price inflation of 113.5%, between August 2003 and December 2024, 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 113.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE FIRS of £295,000 on 12th August 2003. For the value to have increased from £295,000 to £629,699 over the twenty years and eight months to December 2024, 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 August 2003 sale price of £295,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
  • The size, condition, and specification of THE FIRS has not materially changed since August 2003.
Disclaimer: Please note that this is a theoretical estimate based on assumptions which may or may not be correct. It should not be relied on for any purpose.
