| 1996 | £47,000 | £99,121 | 476 |
| 1995 | £47,700 | £103,692 | 452 |
In cash terms the typical CH43 home went from £47,700 in 1995 to £236,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 128%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 7% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CH43 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 2003 (+34.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 41% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £380,000 against £152,500 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +12.8% | +10.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.0% | −0.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.7% | +1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
Sales activity in CH43
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 390 sales completed in CH43. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 790 sales a year before the financial crisis and 448 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 CH43
The local authority for CH43 is Wirral, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £838 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £558 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,222, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Wirral
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £236,800 median purchase price, a rent of £838 a month (£10,056 a year) works out at a 4.2% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
The price of an extra bedroom in CH
Real sold prices by size across the CH area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| 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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
