THE OLD POST OFFICE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE OLD POST OFFICE sales between April 2010 and August 2021 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 March 2017 sale was for 102% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 102% above the HPI over time, until the August 2021 sale, where it rises to 108% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 108% above the HPI.

What might THE OLD POST OFFICE be worth now?

THE OLD POST OFFICE might now be worth an estimated £845,285.

This is based on house price inflation of 14.6%, between August 2021 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the West Berkshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 14.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD POST OFFICE of £737,500 on 23rd August 2021. For the value to have increased from £737,500 to £845,285 over the two years and eight 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 semi-detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The August 2021 sale price of £737,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD POST OFFICE has not materially changed since August 2021.
