THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Leeds local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE FIRS sales from July 2008 and December 2012 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 July 2008 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the December 2012 sale, where it rises to 32% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% above the HPI.

What might THE FIRS be worth now?

THE FIRS might now be worth an estimated £592,850.

This is based on house price inflation of 85.3%, between December 2012 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Leeds local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 85.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE FIRS of £320,000 on 17th December 2012. For the value to have increased from £320,000 to £592,850 over the twelve years 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 Leeds local authority area.
• The December 2012 sale price of £320,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE FIRS has not materially changed since December 2012.
