26 ELMWOOD 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 ELMWOOD DRIVE sales between August 2005 and May 2018 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 2015 sale was for 15% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% above the HPI over time, until the May 2018 sale, where it rises to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.

What might 26 ELMWOOD DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 38.9%, between May 2018 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 38.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 ELMWOOD DRIVE of £340,000 on 25th May 2018. For the value to have increased from £340,000 to £472,351 over the seven years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
