GORSE FARM COTTAGE 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 GORSE FARM COTTAGE sales from August 1996 and August 2016 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 1996 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it rises to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.

What might GORSE FARM COTTAGE be worth now?

GORSE FARM COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £470,853.

This is based on house price inflation of 44.9%, between August 2016 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 44.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GORSE FARM COTTAGE of £325,000 on 26th August 2016. For the value to have increased from £325,000 to £470,853 over the nine years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The August 2016 sale price of £325,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
