POST OFFICE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the East Lindsey local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three POST OFFICE COTTAGE sales between December 2000 and April 2007 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 2005 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the April 2007 sale, where it falls to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.

What might POST OFFICE COTTAGE be worth now?

POST OFFICE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £196,839.

This is based on house price inflation of 45.8%, between April 2007 and August 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the East Lindsey local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 45.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for POST OFFICE COTTAGE of £135,000 on 27th April 2007. For the value to have increased from £135,000 to £196,839 over the seventeen years and eight months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of POST OFFICE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the East Lindsey local authority area.
• The April 2007 sale price of £135,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of POST OFFICE COTTAGE has not materially changed since April 2007.
