THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the North Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five THE FIRS sales between October 1996 and October 2015 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 March 2007 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it falls to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might THE FIRS be worth now?

THE FIRS might now be worth an estimated £276,454.

This is based on house price inflation of 45.5%, between October 2015 and February 2025, for semi-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 45.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE FIRS of £190,000 on 19th October 2015. For the value to have increased from £190,000 to £276,454 over the ten years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE FIRS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Devon local authority area.
• The October 2015 sale price of £190,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE FIRS has not materially changed since October 2015.
