2 MERTON DRIVE 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 two 2 MERTON DRIVE sales from August 2001 and April 2003 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 2001 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the April 2003 sale, where it rises to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.

What might 2 MERTON DRIVE be worth now?

2 MERTON DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £237,991.

This is based on house price inflation of 155.9%, between April 2003 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 155.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 MERTON DRIVE of £93,000 on 16th April 2003. For the value to have increased from £93,000 to £237,991 over the 21 years and ten months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 MERTON DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wirral local authority area.
• The April 2003 sale price of £93,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
