| 1996 | £37,200 | £78,453 | 52 |
| 1995 | £37,900 | £82,389 | 42 |
In cash terms the typical CH45 1 home went from £37,900 in 1995 to £232,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 182%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2025. The market now sits about 6% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CH45 1 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 (+33.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−20.3%). 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 years (since 2025) | −4.1% | −6.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.8% | +1.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.6% | +2.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
CH45 1 recorded 16 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 77 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.
How CH45 1 trades
Only 16 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CH45 1 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.
The rental side of CH45 1
CH45 1 falls under Wirral, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
£838 a month is £10,056 a year, which against the £232,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.3%. 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.

CH45's current homes for sale
The live side of the market holds 192 homes at the moment, listed by 5 agents publishing to HomesIndex.

16% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

Bedroom by bedroom: CH prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the CH area, straight 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.
