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 two POST OFFICE sales from November 2002 and October 2011 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 November 2002 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the October 2011 sale, where it rises to 29% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% above the HPI.

What might POST OFFICE be worth now?

POST OFFICE might now be worth an estimated £682,045.

This is based on house price inflation of 58.3%, between October 2011 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 58.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for POST OFFICE of £430,750 on 21st October 2011. For the value to have increased from £430,750 to £682,045 over the fourteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of POST OFFICE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The October 2011 sale price of £430,750 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of POST OFFICE has not materially changed since October 2011.
