OLD POST OFFICE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three OLD POST OFFICE sales between April 1997 and July 2019 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 2005 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the July 2019 sale, where it falls to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.

What might OLD POST OFFICE be worth now?

OLD POST OFFICE might now be worth an estimated £586,150.

This is based on house price inflation of 23.4%, between July 2019 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Dorset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 23.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OLD POST OFFICE of £475,000 on 5th July 2019. For the value to have increased from £475,000 to £586,150 over the six years and five 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 Dorset local authority area.
• The July 2019 sale price of £475,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OLD POST OFFICE has not materially changed since July 2019.
