THE OLD POST OFFICE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Northamptonshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE OLD POST OFFICE sales between June 1996 and September 2015 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 2009 sale was for 40% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% above the HPI over time, until the September 2015 sale, where it falls to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.

What might THE OLD POST OFFICE be worth now?

THE OLD POST OFFICE might now be worth an estimated £629,696.

This is based on house price inflation of 41.5%, between September 2015 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the West Northamptonshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 41.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD POST OFFICE of £445,000 on 9th September 2015. For the value to have increased from £445,000 to £629,696 over the ten years and seven months to February 2025, 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 West Northamptonshire local authority area.
• The September 2015 sale price of £445,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD POST OFFICE has not materially changed since September 2015.
