THE OLD POST OFFICE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE OLD POST OFFICE sales from January 2012 and June 2023 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 2012 sale was for 30% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% above the HPI over time, until the June 2023 sale, where it rises to 89% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 89% above the HPI.

What might THE OLD POST OFFICE be worth now?

THE OLD POST OFFICE might now be worth an estimated £834,914.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.2%, between June 2023 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Mid Suffolk local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 2.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD POST OFFICE of £817,000 on 16th June 2023. For the value to have increased from £817,000 to £834,914 over the six 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 Mid Suffolk local authority area.
• The June 2023 sale price of £817,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD POST OFFICE has not materially changed since June 2023.
