10 MERLIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wirral local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 10 MERLIN CLOSE sales between April 1997 and February 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 September 2001 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the February 2008 sale, where it falls to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might 10 MERLIN CLOSE be worth now?

10 MERLIN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £213,489.

This is based on house price inflation of 47.2%, between February 2008 and June 2025, for semi-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 47.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 10 MERLIN CLOSE of £145,000 on 28th February 2008. For the value to have increased from £145,000 to £213,489 over the sixteen years and eight months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 10 MERLIN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wirral local authority area.
• The February 2008 sale price of £145,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 10 MERLIN CLOSE has not materially changed since February 2008.
