ORCHARD 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 two ORCHARD COTTAGE sales from May 2011 and August 2020 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 May 2011 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the August 2020 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might ORCHARD COTTAGE be worth now?

ORCHARD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £227,641.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.7%, between August 2020 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 16.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ORCHARD COTTAGE of £195,000 on 28th August 2020. For the value to have increased from £195,000 to £227,641 over the three years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The August 2020 sale price of £195,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ORCHARD COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2020.
