| 1996 | £100,000 | £210,896 | 256 |
| 1995 | £91,000 | £197,820 | 210 |
In cash terms the typical CH60 home went from £91,000 in 1995 to £421,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 113%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 18% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CH60 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 (+43.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.3%). 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) | −10.4% | −12.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.7% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.8% | +0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | 0.0% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 52% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £540,000 against £156,300 for a flat, 3.5 times the price.

Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Month by month, five years back
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, 182 sales completed in CH60. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 289 sales a year before the financial crisis and 185 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.
What homes rent for around CH60
The local authority for CH60 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.
£838 a month is £10,056 a year, which against the £421,200 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.4%. 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.

What another bedroom costs in CH
Real sold prices by size across the CH area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £248,000 | £350,000 (+41%) | £557,000 (+59%) | £782,500 (+40%) |
| Semi-detached | £170,000 | £200,000 (+18%) | £245,000 (+23%) | £330,000 (+35%) | £425,000 (+29%) |

| Flat | £112,500 | £157,000 (+40%) | £230,000 (+46%) | £335,000 (+46%) | — |
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.
