5 LESTER DRIVE 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 LESTER DRIVE sales from April 2005 and March 2006 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 April 2005 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the March 2006 sale, where it rises to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.

What might 5 LESTER DRIVE be worth now?

5 LESTER DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £396,026.

This is based on house price inflation of 65.4%, between March 2006 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).

The 65.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 LESTER DRIVE of £239,500 on 10th March 2006. For the value to have increased from £239,500 to £396,026 over the nineteen years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 LESTER DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wirral local authority area.
• The March 2006 sale price of £239,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
