LITTLE MEAD 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 two LITTLE MEAD sales from January 2008 and October 2011 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 January 2008 sale was for 22% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% above the HPI over time, until the October 2011 sale, where it rises to 53% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 53% above the HPI.

What might LITTLE MEAD be worth now?

LITTLE MEAD might now be worth an estimated £388,400.

This is based on house price inflation of 59%, between October 2011 and February 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 59% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LITTLE MEAD of £244,250 on 24th October 2011. For the value to have increased from £244,250 to £388,400 over the fourteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LITTLE MEAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Boston local authority area.
• The October 2011 sale price of £244,250 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LITTLE MEAD has not materially changed since October 2011.
