CH45 5 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside CH45 (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.

In cash terms the typical CH45 5 home went from £39,000 in 1995 to £191,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 126%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 20% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CH45 5 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 2005 (+34.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−16.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.8% | −4.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
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
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, 25 sales completed in CH45 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 109 sales a year before the financial crisis and 55 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 kind of market CH45 5 is
This is a thin market: 25 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. 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. Within CH45, this sector trades 12% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What homes rent for around CH45 5
The local authority for CH45 5 is Wirral, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
Against the £191,500 median purchase price, a rent of £838 a month (£10,056 a year) works out at a 5.3% 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.
