5 LEDSHAM 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 5 LEDSHAM CLOSE sales from November 2002 and May 2011 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 2002 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the May 2011 sale, where it falls to 40% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% below the HPI.

What might 5 LEDSHAM CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 61.6%, between May 2011 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 61.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 LEDSHAM CLOSE of £137,000 on 19th May 2011. For the value to have increased from £137,000 to £221,362 over the twelve years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
