178 EASTHAM RAKE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wirral local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 178 EASTHAM RAKE sales between September 1996 and September 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 August 2007 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the September 2014 sale, where it rises to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.

What might 178 EASTHAM RAKE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 57.2%, between September 2014 and December 2024, for semi-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 57.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 178 EASTHAM RAKE of £176,000 on 10th September 2014. For the value to have increased from £176,000 to £276,598 over the nine years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
