4 POPLAR ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wirral local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 4 POPLAR ROAD sales between September 1997 and August 2003 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 June 2002 sale was for 74% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 74% above the HPI over time, until the August 2003 sale, where it falls to 72% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 72% above the HPI.

What might 4 POPLAR ROAD be worth now?

4 POPLAR ROAD might now be worth an estimated £404,754.

This is based on house price inflation of 139.5%, between August 2003 and February 2025, for semi-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 139.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 POPLAR ROAD of £169,000 on 6th August 2003. For the value to have increased from £169,000 to £404,754 over the 22 years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 POPLAR ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wirral local authority area.
• The August 2003 sale price of £169,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
