THE OLD POSTHOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Kesteven local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE OLD POSTHOUSE sales between April 2002 and June 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 May 2018 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it rises to 47% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% above the HPI.

What might THE OLD POSTHOUSE be worth now?

THE OLD POSTHOUSE might now be worth an estimated £535,958.

This is based on house price inflation of 12.8%, between June 2021 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the South Kesteven local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 12.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD POSTHOUSE of £475,000 on 30th June 2021. For the value to have increased from £475,000 to £535,958 over the four years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE OLD POSTHOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Kesteven local authority area.
• The June 2021 sale price of £475,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD POSTHOUSE has not materially changed since June 2021.
