ANVIL 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 three ANVIL COTTAGE sales between July 1997 and November 2014 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 2007 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the November 2014 sale, where it falls to 43% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% below the HPI.

What might ANVIL COTTAGE be worth now?

ANVIL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £144,209.

This is based on house price inflation of 48.7%, between November 2014 and December 2024, 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 48.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ANVIL COTTAGE of £97,000 on 7th November 2014. For the value to have increased from £97,000 to £144,209 over the nine years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ANVIL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Boston local authority area.
• The November 2014 sale price of £97,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ANVIL COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2014.
