THE FIRS Sold Prices

Date	Price	HPI Price	Variation from HPI

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 three THE FIRS sales between May 1998 and September 2014 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 2005 sale was for 22% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% above the HPI over time, until the September 2014 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 £612,487.

This is based on house price inflation of 47.6%, between September 2014 and February 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 47.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE FIRS of £415,000 on 23rd September 2014. For the value to have increased from £415,000 to £612,487 over the eleven years and seven 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 North Devon local authority area.
• The September 2014 sale price of £415,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE FIRS has not materially changed since September 2014.
