| 1995 | £29,000 | £63,042 | 78 |
In cash terms the typical CH41 0 home went from £29,000 in 1995 to £177,100 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 181%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2006; the current median sits about 6% below that. Someone who bought at the 2006 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CH41 0 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+35.7% on the year before); the weakest, 1998 (−18.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CH41 0 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +18.1% | +15.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +7.2% | +2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.0% | +2.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 20 sales completed in CH41 0. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 98 sales a year before the financial crisis and 41 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around CH41 0
The local authority for CH41 0 is Wirral, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £838 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £558 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,222 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Wirral
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£838 a month is £10,056 a year, which against the £177,100 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.7%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
The shape of the CH41 0 market
This is a thin market: 20 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the CH41 district median, CH41 0 sits 31% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

These cover the whole CH41 district, not just CH41 0: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 30% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

Bedroom by bedroom: CH prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CH area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £248,000 | £350,000 (+41%) | £557,000 (+59%) | £782,500 (+40%) |
| Semi-detached | £170,000 | £200,000 (+18%) | £245,000 (+23%) | £330,000 (+35%) | £425,000 (+29%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
