74 DERBY 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 three 74 DERBY ROAD sales between December 1998 and September 2008 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 2003 sale was for 84% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 84% below the HPI over time, until the September 2008 sale, where it rises to 81% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 81% below the HPI.

What might 74 DERBY ROAD be worth now?

74 DERBY ROAD might now be worth an estimated £71,354.

This is based on house price inflation of 55.1%, between September 2008 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 55.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 74 DERBY ROAD of £46,000 on 26th September 2008. For the value to have increased from £46,000 to £71,354 over the fifteen years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 74 DERBY ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wirral local authority area.
• The September 2008 sale price of £46,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 74 DERBY ROAD has not materially changed since September 2008.
