BIRCH TREE HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Boston local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four BIRCH TREE HOUSE sales between March 2000 and June 2008 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 June 2003 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the June 2008 sale, where it rises to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.

What might BIRCH TREE HOUSE be worth now?

BIRCH TREE HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £255,665.

This is based on house price inflation of 42%, between June 2008 and August 2025, for detached houses, in the Boston local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 42% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BIRCH TREE HOUSE of £180,000 on 4th June 2008. For the value to have increased from £180,000 to £255,665 over the sixteen years and ten months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BIRCH TREE HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Boston local authority area.
• The June 2008 sale price of £180,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BIRCH TREE HOUSE has not materially changed since June 2008.
