Wirral’s average house price stood at £216,862 in April 2026, according to the UK House Price Index. That is a monthly fall of 2.5%, after March’s average of £222,537.
Even with that drop, prices are still 6.1% higher than a year ago, showing that the market has held onto solid annual growth.
Wirral’s average private rent stood at £838 in May 2026, according to the ONS Price Index of Private Rents. That was up by £3 from April’s £835.
