18 BRIARSWOOD 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 18 BRIARSWOOD CLOSE sales from September 1995 and November 2002 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 September 1995 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the November 2002 sale, where it falls to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.

What might 18 BRIARSWOOD CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 163.5%, between November 2002 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 163.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 BRIARSWOOD CLOSE of £95,000 on 22nd November 2002. For the value to have increased from £95,000 to £250,324 over the 23 years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
