4 PICTON 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 three 4 PICTON CLOSE sales between August 2001 and March 2019 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 July 2013 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the March 2019 sale, where it rises to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.

What might 4 PICTON CLOSE be worth now?

4 PICTON CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £221,017.

This is based on house price inflation of 38.2%, between March 2019 and February 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 38.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 PICTON CLOSE of £159,950 on 29th March 2019. For the value to have increased from £159,950 to £221,017 over the six years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 PICTON CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wirral local authority area.
• The March 2019 sale price of £159,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
