OLD POST OFFICE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two OLD POST OFFICE sales from December 1996 and November 2010 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 December 1996 sale was for 48% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% below the HPI over time, until the November 2010 sale, where it falls to 49% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% below the HPI.

What might OLD POST OFFICE be worth now?

OLD POST OFFICE might now be worth an estimated £232,811.

This is based on house price inflation of 61.1%, between November 2010 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 61.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OLD POST OFFICE of £144,500 on 11th November 2010. For the value to have increased from £144,500 to £232,811 over the fifteen years and nine 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 Somerset local authority area.
• The November 2010 sale price of £144,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OLD POST OFFICE has not materially changed since November 2010.
