Egremont market report CH44 2, Wallasey
The standing CH44 2 (Egremont) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 1,362 registered sales in CH44 2 (Wallasey) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh. Page updated 19 October 2026.
In short: 20 registered 2026 sales put the CH44 2 (Wallasey) median at £237,500, up 24% on five years earlier, with a mean of £217,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,070 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 1,362 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
CH44 2 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside CH44 (Wallasey). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

CH44 2 sold prices: where the market stands
20 sales were registered in CH44 2 in 2026, and the middle one of them, the median, went for £237,500. The mean works out at £217,000, below it, which usually means a cluster of very cheap recorded transfers is dragging the average down.
Price per square metre in CH44 2
The last five years of sales put CH44 2 at roughly £2,070 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so CH44 2 trades 17% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical CH44 2 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £237,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 143%, 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 12% 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 CH44 2 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 (+42.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−21.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −1.0% | −3.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.4% | −0.4% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +6.3% | +1.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.8% | +2.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
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 CH44 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 53 sales a year before the financial crisis and 41 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Reading the CH44 2 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. Within CH44, this sector trades 41% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What homes rent for around CH44 2
The local authority for CH44 2 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.
Set against the £237,500 median sold price, £838 a month is £10,056 a year, a gross yield of 4.2%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

Moving up a bedroom in CH: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CH area, from the Land Registry record. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £220,000 | £245,000 (+11%) | £290,995 (+19%) | £375,000 (+29%) | £490,000 (+31%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
