THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE FIRS sales between December 1996 and July 2023 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 2010 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the July 2023 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 £804,898.

This is based on house price deflation of 5.3%, between July 2023 and April 2025, for detached houses, in the New Forest local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 5.3% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for THE FIRS of £850,000 on 24th July 2023. For the value to have decreased from £850,000 to £804,898 over the two years and three months to April 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE FIRS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the New Forest local authority area.
• The July 2023 sale price of £850,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE FIRS has not materially changed since July 2023.
