26 MOSS GROVE 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 26 MOSS GROVE sales from September 1999 and May 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 September 1999 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the May 2015 sale, where it falls to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.

What might 26 MOSS GROVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 55.8%, between May 2015 and December 2024, 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 55.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 MOSS GROVE of £163,000 on 28th May 2015. For the value to have increased from £163,000 to £253,874 over the eight years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
