72 OSMASTON ROAD 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 72 OSMASTON ROAD sales from February 1997 and August 2003 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 February 1997 sale was for 81% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 81% above the HPI over time, until the August 2003 sale, where it falls to 72% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 72% above the HPI.

What might 72 OSMASTON ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 125.4%, between August 2003 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 125.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 72 OSMASTON ROAD of £283,500 on 5th August 2003. For the value to have increased from £283,500 to £638,897 over the twenty years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
