WITSEND 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 WITSEND sales between August 1998 and April 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 2002 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the April 2014 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might WITSEND be worth now?

WITSEND might now be worth an estimated £217,370.

This is based on house price inflation of 50.7%, between April 2014 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 50.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WITSEND of £144,250 on 17th April 2014. For the value to have increased from £144,250 to £217,370 over the eleven years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WITSEND has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Boston local authority area.
• The April 2014 sale price of £144,250 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WITSEND has not materially changed since April 2014.
