OLD POST OFFICE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cheshire East local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two OLD POST OFFICE sales from February 1998 and August 2004 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 February 1998 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the August 2004 sale, where it rises to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might OLD POST OFFICE be worth now?

OLD POST OFFICE might now be worth an estimated £441,061.

This is based on house price inflation of 91.8%, between August 2004 and June 2025, for detached houses, in the Cheshire East local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 91.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OLD POST OFFICE of £230,000 on 16th August 2004. For the value to have increased from £230,000 to £441,061 over the 21 years and two months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OLD POST OFFICE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cheshire East local authority area.
• The August 2004 sale price of £230,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OLD POST OFFICE has not materially changed since August 2004.
