The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wirral local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 172 UPTON ROAD sales from July 2007 and June 2021 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 July 2007 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it rises to 58% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 58% above the HPI.
172 UPTON ROAD might now be worth an estimated £587,125.
