9 WEST 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 three 9 WEST CLOSE sales between July 2000 and March 2021 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 2011 sale was for 40% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% above the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it rises to 53% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 53% above the HPI.

What might 9 WEST CLOSE be worth now?

9 WEST CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £569,072.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.9%, between March 2021 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 17.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 9 WEST CLOSE of £482,500 on 12th March 2021. For the value to have increased from £482,500 to £569,072 over the four years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 9 WEST CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wirral local authority area.
