26 DOUGLAS DRIVE 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 26 DOUGLAS DRIVE sales between December 1996 and October 2020 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 April 2013 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it rises to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.

What might 26 DOUGLAS DRIVE be worth now?

26 DOUGLAS DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £246,869.

This is based on house price inflation of 23.4%, between October 2020 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 23.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 DOUGLAS DRIVE of £200,000 on 19th October 2020. For the value to have increased from £200,000 to £246,869 over the five years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
