The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wirral local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 38 BIRCH AVENUE sales from March 2010 and June 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 March 2010 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the June 2015 sale, where it rises to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.
38 BIRCH AVENUE might now be worth an estimated £416,188.
This is based on house price inflation of 54.1%, between June 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).
