CH49 4 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside CH49 (Wirral). 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.

| 1996 | £45,000 | £94,903 | 157 |
| 1995 | £44,600 | £96,954 | 118 |
In cash terms the typical CH49 4 home went from £44,600 in 1995 to £207,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 114%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2019; the current median sits about 20% below that. Someone who bought at the 2019 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CH49 4 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 (+25.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CH49 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.5% | −5.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.2% | −2.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.9% | +0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.5% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
CH49 4 recorded 30 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 127 sales a year before the financial crisis and 71 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.
Rents around CH49 4
The local authority for CH49 4 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 £207,500 median purchase price, a rent of £838 a month (£10,056 a year) works out at a 4.8% 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 CH49 4 market
This is a thin market: 30 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. Within CH49, this sector trades 15% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

What you could buy in CH49 now
The live side of the market holds 184 homes at the moment, listed by 5 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole CH49 district, not just CH49 4: live asking prices are collected per district.
14% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
The price of an extra bedroom in CH
Real sold prices by size across the CH area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £248,000 | £350,000 (+41%) | £557,000 (+59%) | £782,500 (+40%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

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.
