THE COTTAGE 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 THE COTTAGE sales between September 2006 and August 2017 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 2017 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.

What might THE COTTAGE be worth now?

THE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £157,237.

This is based on house price inflation of 25.8%, between August 2017 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 25.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE COTTAGE of £125,000 on 23rd August 2017. For the value to have increased from £125,000 to £157,237 over the eight years to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Boston local authority area.
• The August 2017 sale price of £125,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2017.
