CH44 is the postcode district covering Egremont, Liscard, Poulton in Wallasey. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

Today's CH44 prices, from the sold record
The CH44 median stands at £170,000 for 2026, built from 124 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £180,700, modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.
CH44 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of CH44 sales average about £1,590 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving CH44 40% below the national figure.

In cash terms the typical CH44 home went from £31,000 in 1995 to £170,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 152%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash.
Year-on-year change in the CH44 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 (+50.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CH44 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +12.2% | +9.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +6.3% | +1.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.6% | +3.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 61% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £296,700 against £95,000 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

Sales activity in CH44
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
CH44 recorded 289 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 656 sales a year before the financial crisis and 325 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.
Rents around CH44
CH44 falls under Wirral, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Against the £170,000 median purchase price, a rent of £838 a month (£10,056 a year) works out at a 5.9% 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.

What happens to CH44 prices now?

CH44's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in CH44 sold for. The live side of the market holds 132 homes at the moment, listed by 9 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price level with the CH44 median sold price.
12% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
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.

What another bedroom costs in CH
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.
| 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%) |
| Terraced | £145,500 | £158,000 (+9%) | £170,000 (+8%) | £227,500 (+34%) | £310,000 (+36%) |
| Flat | £112,500 | £157,000 (+40%) | £230,000 (+46%) | £335,000 (+46%) | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
