THE OLD TELEPHONE EXCHANGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rother local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE OLD TELEPHONE EXCHANGE sales between March 1995 and July 2001 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 2000 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the July 2001 sale, where it rises to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might THE OLD TELEPHONE EXCHANGE be worth now?

THE OLD TELEPHONE EXCHANGE might now be worth an estimated £482,950.

This is based on house price inflation of 211.6%, between July 2001 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Rother local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 211.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD TELEPHONE EXCHANGE of £155,000 on 6th July 2001. For the value to have increased from £155,000 to £482,950 over the 24 years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE OLD TELEPHONE EXCHANGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rother local authority area.
• The July 2001 sale price of £155,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD TELEPHONE EXCHANGE has not materially changed since July 2001.
