40 WILFRED OWEN DRIVE 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 40 WILFRED OWEN DRIVE sales between December 1997 and June 2021 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 2004 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 40 WILFRED OWEN DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 16.8%, between June 2021 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).
