Probate valuation · Boston
Probate needs the home’s value on the date of death, not today’s price. In Boston, average prices have moved 7.6% up over five years, so the date matters.





The short answer
Date of death
The average home today is £180,174. If the death was some time ago, the value the estate needs is the one from then.
| Date of death | Average home then | Change to today |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year ago (Aug 2025) | £182,267 | -1.1% |
| 3 years ago (Aug 2023) | £191,662 | -6% |
| 5 years ago (Aug 2021) | £167,386 | +7.6% |
