3 RABY 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 3 RABY CLOSE sales between November 2001 and January 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 November 2009 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the January 2020 sale, where it rises to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.

What might 3 RABY CLOSE be worth now?

3 RABY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £552,306.

This is based on house price inflation of 30%, between January 2020 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 30% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 RABY CLOSE of £425,000 on 17th January 2020. For the value to have increased from £425,000 to £552,306 over the three years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 RABY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wirral local authority area.
• The January 2020 sale price of £425,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 3 RABY CLOSE has not materially changed since January 2020.
