THE FIRS is a large extended detached house of 159m², built sometime between 1930 and 1949. It was last sold for £605,000 in May 2011, which was around 48% above the average May 2011 detached price in the West Berkshire local authority area. The most recent EPC inspection was November 2010, where the current energy rating was E, and the potential energy rating was D.
Land registry data shows two sales for THE FIRS since 1st January 1995. The below table shows the price paid for the two sales, along with the average detached price in the West Berkshire local authority area for the corresponding sale date. Both of the two THE FIRS sales were for above the average price. The average price is sourced from the Office for National Statistics' House Price Index (HPI).
Date | Price | HPI Price | Variation from HPI |
---|---|---|---|
2011 31 MAY | £605,000 | £408,804 | 48% above HPI |
2009 9 OCT | £560,000 | £367,933 | 52% above HPI |
The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE FIRS sales from October 2009 and May 2011 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 October 2009 sale was for 52% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% above the HPI over time, until the May 2011 sale, where it falls to 48% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 48% above the HPI.
