THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE FIRS sales from June 1998 and February 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 June 1998 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might THE FIRS be worth now?

THE FIRS might now be worth an estimated £345,858.

This is based on house price inflation of 41.2%, between February 2016 and March 2025, for detached houses, in the North Devon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 41.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE FIRS of £244,950 on 15th February 2016. For the value to have increased from £244,950 to £345,858 over the eight years and eleven months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE FIRS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Devon local authority area.
• The February 2016 sale price of £244,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE FIRS has not materially changed since February 2016.
