20 DENNY 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 three 20 DENNY CLOSE sales between March 1999 and December 2015 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 December 2012 sale was for 80% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 80% below the HPI over time, until the December 2015 sale, where it rises to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.

What might 20 DENNY CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 48.3%, between December 2015 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 48.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 DENNY CLOSE of £175,000 on 18th December 2015. For the value to have increased from £175,000 to £259,575 over the ten years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
