THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Breckland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE FIRS sales from February 2014 and November 2016 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 2014 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the November 2016 sale, where it rises to 94% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 94% above the HPI.

What might THE FIRS be worth now?

THE FIRS might now be worth an estimated £719,564.

This is based on house price inflation of 30.8%, between November 2016 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Breckland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 30.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE FIRS of £549,950 on 30th November 2016. For the value to have increased from £549,950 to £719,564 over the nine 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 Breckland local authority area.
• The November 2016 sale price of £549,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE FIRS has not materially changed since November 2016.
