8 LEA 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 8 LEA CLOSE sales between September 2015 and April 2022 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 April 2017 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the April 2022 sale, where it falls to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 8 LEA CLOSE be worth now?

8 LEA CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £220,773.

This is based on house price inflation of 12.6%, between April 2022 and March 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 12.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 LEA CLOSE of £195,995 on 29th April 2022. For the value to have increased from £195,995 to £220,773 over the three years and one month to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 LEA CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wirral local authority area.
• The April 2022 sale price of £195,995 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 8 LEA CLOSE has not materially changed since April 2022.
