16 THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Darlington local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 16 THE FIRS sales from January 2013 and December 2018 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 January 2013 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the December 2018 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might 16 THE FIRS be worth now?

16 THE FIRS might now be worth an estimated £163,504.

This is based on house price inflation of 27.2%, between December 2018 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Darlington local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 27.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 THE FIRS of £128,500 on 7th December 2018. For the value to have increased from £128,500 to £163,504 over the seven years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 16 THE FIRS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Darlington local authority area.
• The December 2018 sale price of £128,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 16 THE FIRS has not materially changed since December 2018.
