40 SOUTH 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 40 SOUTH DRIVE sales from March 2001 and November 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 March 2001 sale was for 105% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 105% above the HPI over time, until the November 2019 sale, where it falls to 99% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 99% above the HPI.

What might 40 SOUTH DRIVE be worth now?

40 SOUTH DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £490,894.

This is based on house price inflation of 39.9%, between November 2019 and April 2026, 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 39.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 40 SOUTH DRIVE of £351,000 on 8th November 2019. For the value to have increased from £351,000 to £490,894 over the seven years and seven months to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 40 SOUTH DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wirral local authority area.
• The November 2019 sale price of £351,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
