11 MERLIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wirral local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 11 MERLIN CLOSE sales from June 1995 and November 2010 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 1995 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the November 2010 sale, where it rises to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.

What might 11 MERLIN CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 59.8%, between November 2010 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Wirral local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 59.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 11 MERLIN CLOSE of £158,000 on 11th November 2010. For the value to have increased from £158,000 to £252,477 over the fifteen years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 11 MERLIN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wirral local authority area.
• The November 2010 sale price of £158,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
