OLD POST OFFICE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rochford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two OLD POST OFFICE sales from March 1996 and October 2020 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 1996 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might OLD POST OFFICE be worth now?

OLD POST OFFICE might now be worth an estimated £510,369.

This is based on house price inflation of 10.9%, between October 2020 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Rochford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 10.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OLD POST OFFICE of £460,000 on 30th October 2020. For the value to have increased from £460,000 to £510,369 over the five years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OLD POST OFFICE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rochford local authority area.
• The October 2020 sale price of £460,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OLD POST OFFICE has not materially changed since October 2020.
