Caldy market report CH48 5, Wirral
The CH48 5 (Caldy) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 1,508 sales registered with HM Land Registry in CH48 5 (Wirral) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here 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. Page updated 19 October 2026.
In short: 23 registered 2026 sales put the CH48 5 (Wirral) median at £313,500, up 27% on five years earlier, with a mean of £363,700, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,360 per square metre over the last five years.

CH48 5 is one sector of CH48 (Wirral): 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.

In cash terms the typical CH48 5 home went from £49,000 in 1995 to £313,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 194%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper.
Year-on-year change in the CH48 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 2003 (+33.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2013 (−10.4%). 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 year (since 2025) | +0.6% | −1.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.9% | +0.1% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +5.3% | +0.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.2% | +1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +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
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 23 sales completed in CH48 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 56 sales a year before the financial crisis and 40 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.
The rental side of CH48 5
The local authority for CH48 5 is Wirral, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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 £313,500 median purchase price, a rent of £838 a month (£10,056 a year) works out at a 3.2% 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.
Reading the CH48 5 market
This is a thin market: 23 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 CH48 district median, CH48 5 sits 16% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

The price of an extra bedroom in CH
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%) |
Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
