THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Boston local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE COTTAGE sales between May 2002 and February 2019 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 2010 sale was for 20% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% above the HPI over time, until the February 2019 sale, where it falls to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.

What might THE COTTAGE be worth now?

THE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £137,305.

This is based on house price inflation of 27.7%, between February 2019 and August 2025, for terraced 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 27.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE COTTAGE of £107,500 on 21st February 2019. For the value to have increased from £107,500 to £137,305 over the five years and six months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the Boston local authority area.
• The February 2019 sale price of £107,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE COTTAGE has not materially changed since February 2019.
