THE OLD POST OFFICE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Elmbridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE OLD POST OFFICE sales from January 2000 and November 2004 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 2000 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the November 2004 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might THE OLD POST OFFICE be worth now?

THE OLD POST OFFICE might now be worth an estimated £1,267,435.

This is based on house price inflation of 137.6%, between November 2004 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Elmbridge local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 137.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD POST OFFICE of £533,500 on 12th November 2004. For the value to have increased from £533,500 to £1,267,435 over the 21 years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
