4 FOREST 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 two 4 FOREST CLOSE sales from January 2017 and November 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 January 2017 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it rises to 57% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 57% above the HPI.

What might 4 FOREST CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 21.3%, between November 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 21.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 FOREST CLOSE of £480,000 on 18th November 2020. For the value to have increased from £480,000 to £582,187 over the three years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
