OLD POST OFFICE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two OLD POST OFFICE sales from July 2015 and December 2025 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 2015 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the December 2025 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.

What might OLD POST OFFICE be worth now?

OLD POST OFFICE might now be worth an estimated £317,412.

This is based on house price deflation of 0.8%, between December 2025 and April 2026, for detached houses, in the Dorset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 0.8% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for OLD POST OFFICE of £320,000 on 17th December 2025. For the value to have decreased from £320,000 to £317,412 over the one year and eight months to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OLD POST OFFICE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The December 2025 sale price of £320,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OLD POST OFFICE has not materially changed since December 2025.
