In cash terms the typical CH43 5 home went from £39,700 in 1995 to £220,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 155%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 17% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CH43 5 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 2004 (+39.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−30.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.8% | −0.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.7% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.4% | +1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
How many homes change hands in CH43 5
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
CH43 5 recorded 30 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 95 sales a year before the financial crisis and 51 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
The rental side of CH43 5
The local authority for CH43 5 is Wirral, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £838 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £558 a month here against £1,222 for four or more bedrooms.
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 £220,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.6%. 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.
What kind of market CH43 5 is
Only 30 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CH43 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 9% over five years in cash but down 14% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

Bedroom by bedroom: CH prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CH area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
