5 ATHELSTAN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wirral local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 ATHELSTAN CLOSE sales from December 1996 and July 2017 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 December 1996 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the July 2017 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 5 ATHELSTAN CLOSE be worth now?

5 ATHELSTAN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £373,609.

This is based on house price inflation of 41%, between July 2017 and March 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 41% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 ATHELSTAN CLOSE of £265,000 on 31st July 2017. For the value to have increased from £265,000 to £373,609 over the eight years and four months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 ATHELSTAN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wirral local authority area.
• The July 2017 sale price of £265,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 ATHELSTAN CLOSE has not materially changed since July 2017.
