The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wirral local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four SEXTONS COTTAGE sales between October 2000 and April 2013 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 October 2011 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the April 2013 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.
SEXTONS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £303,909.
This is based on house price inflation of 68.8%, between April 2013 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 68.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SEXTONS COTTAGE of £180,000 on 17th April 2013. For the value to have increased from £180,000 to £303,909 over the twelve years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
