51 MELFORD 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 51 MELFORD DRIVE sales from August 2017 and November 2022 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 August 2017 sale was for 50% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% below the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it rises to 44% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% below the HPI.

What might 51 MELFORD DRIVE be worth now?

51 MELFORD DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £208,062.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.5%, between November 2022 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 0.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 51 MELFORD DRIVE of £207,000 on 28th November 2022. For the value to have increased from £207,000 to £208,062 over the three years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
