15 WHARTON 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 15 WHARTON CLOSE sales from January 1999 and November 2005 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 1999 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the November 2005 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 15 WHARTON CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 65.5%, between November 2005 and December 2024, 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 65.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 WHARTON CLOSE of £192,500 on 21st November 2005. For the value to have increased from £192,500 to £318,601 over the eighteen years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
