Egremont market report CH44 4, Wallasey
The standing CH44 4 (Egremont) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 1,899 registered sales in CH44 4 (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.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 16 registered 2026 sales put the CH44 4 (Wallasey) median at £131,000, up 38% on five years earlier, with a mean of £131,400, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £1,430 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 1,899 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
CH44 4 is one sector of CH44 (Wallasey): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

Price per square metre in CH44 4

In cash terms the typical CH44 4 home went from £30,500 in 1995 to £131,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 98%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 17% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CH44 4 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 (+45.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−14.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.0% | −5.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +6.6% | +1.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.0% | +2.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.7% |
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
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 16 sales completed in CH44 4. 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 50 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 CH44 4
CH44 4 falls under Wirral, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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 £131,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 7.7%. 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.
How CH44 4 trades
This is a thin market: 16 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. Against the CH44 district median, CH44 4 sits 23% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

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. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £248,000 | £350,000 (+41%) | £557,000 (+59%) | £782,500 (+40%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
