THE OLD POST OFFICE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swansea local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE OLD POST OFFICE sales from July 2002 and February 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 July 2002 sale was for 139% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 139% above the HPI over time, until the February 2011 sale, where it rises to 144% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 144% above the HPI.

What might THE OLD POST OFFICE be worth now?

THE OLD POST OFFICE might now be worth an estimated £783,272.

This is based on house price inflation of 64.9%, between February 2011 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Swansea local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 64.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD POST OFFICE of £475,000 on 18th February 2011. For the value to have increased from £475,000 to £783,272 over the twelve years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE OLD POST OFFICE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Swansea local authority area.
• The February 2011 sale price of £475,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD POST OFFICE has not materially changed since February 2011.
