How this area has changed
Typical prices for semi-detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to September 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alpha Drive | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector CH42 1 | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Wirral | £246,250 | £200,000 +23% since | £159,000 +55% since | £140,500 +75% since | £147,500 +67% since |
The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.
How homes change hands in CH42 1, over the last five years (155 sales):
- What sells: 36% terraced, 31% semi-detached, 26% flats, 5% other, 3% detached.
- 30% sold leasehold.
- 26 sales in the last twelve months, against 41 in the same twelve months five years ago.
