THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Thurrock local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE FIRS sales between May 2003 and November 2020 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 February 2020 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it rises 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 £828,069.

This is based on house price inflation of 11.9%, between November 2020 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Thurrock local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 11.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE FIRS of £740,000 on 25th November 2020. For the value to have increased from £740,000 to £828,069 over the five 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 Thurrock local authority area.
• The November 2020 sale price of £740,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE FIRS has not materially changed since November 2020.
