7 BENBOW 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 five 7 BENBOW CLOSE sales between May 2002 and June 2018 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 March 2018 sale was for 44% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% below the HPI over time, until the June 2018 sale, where it falls to 45% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% below the HPI.

What might 7 BENBOW CLOSE be worth now?

7 BENBOW CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £205,850.

This is based on house price inflation of 37.2%, between June 2018 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 37.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 BENBOW CLOSE of £149,995 on 1st June 2018. For the value to have increased from £149,995 to £205,850 over the seven years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 BENBOW CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wirral local authority area.
