What CH45 homes really sell for
The CH45 median stands at £215,000 for 2026, built from 233 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £228,800, modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.
CH45 prices by floor area
Averaged across five years of sales, floor space in CH45 costs about £2,030 per square metre. Each sale's Energy Performance Certificate supplies the floor area, and pricing by the metre is what lets flats and houses share one scale.

In cash terms the typical CH45 home went from £42,000 in 1995 to £215,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 135%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 9% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CH45 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 (+37.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−10.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CH45 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −1.6% | −3.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.4% | −1.4% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +4.7% | +0.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.4% | +0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −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 semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 44% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £360,000 against £120,000 for a flat, 3.0 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 390 sales completed in CH45. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 732 sales a year before the financial crisis and 413 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.
Rents around CH45
For renting purposes CH45 sits in Wirral. The ONS average private rent there is £838 a month (May 2026). 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 £215,000 median purchase price, a rent of £838 a month (£10,056 a year) works out at a 4.7% 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.

Is CH45 (New Brighton) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in CH45 (New Brighton)?
Are property prices falling in CH45 (New Brighton)?
Are CH45 prices heading up or down?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 18% over five years in cash but down 7% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
What you could buy in CH45 now
Everything above is what homes in CH45 sold for. This is what you could actually buy today: 166 homes currently on the market from 3 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 19% above the CH45 median sold price.
At the pace of the last twelve months' registered sales (390 in CH45), the 166 homes listed here amount to about 5 months of supply. Not every agent publishes to HomesIndex, so the true figure is higher.

- Seafield Drive, Wallasey, Wirral
- Lennox Avenue, New Brighton, Wirral
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 is for sale against what sells in CH45
Terraced homes are 27% of what sold in CH45 over 2024 and 2025 but only 12% of what is listed now: they sell, and there are few to choose from, so a good one is unlikely to hang about.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 10% | 7% |
| Semi-detached | 46% | 46% |
| Terraced | 12% | 27% |
| Flats | 32% | 20% |
Listings are the homes agents publish to HomesIndex today; sales are HM Land Registry registrations. A listing whose type does not say detached, semi-detached, terraced or flat (a plain "house", a bungalow, a park home) is left out of the listing shares.
When homes in CH45 change hands
Across the 2,451 sales completed in CH45 from 2021 to 2025, September was the busiest month for completions (9.8% of the total) and April the quietest (6.6%). With so little between the busiest and quietest months, CH45 sells year round; the calendar is a weaker lever than price.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025

| January | 183 | 7.5% |

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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £220,000 | £245,000 (+11%) | £290,995 (+19%) | £375,000 (+29%) | £490,000 (+31%) |
| Semi-detached | £167,500 | £190,000 (+13%) | £220,000 (+16%) | £285,000 (+30%) | £365,000 (+28%) |
| Terraced | £140,000 | £155,000 (+11%) | £160,000 (+3%) | £195,000 (+22%) | £225,000 (+15%) |
| Flat | £100,000 | £135,000 (+35%) | £180,000 (+33%) | £236,750 (+32%) | £295,000 (+25%) |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
