Homes that sold twice

These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Claremont Drive, Widnes values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here

The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Claremont Drive, Widnes is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.

Ownership and new build in Claremont Drive, Widnes

0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 83 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.

A further 2 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Halton, 51.9% of 60,140 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 2.5% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Halton at £741 a month as of Jun 2026 — £541 for a one-bedroom home and £817 for three bedrooms.

Against the median sale of £128,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 6.92% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.

Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of WA8, 311 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 151 violent, 7 burglary, 10 vehicle-related and 33 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.9 times busier.

Against the 128,478 residents the 2021 census counted in Halton, that is 2.42 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.

A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

Section 08

The neighbourhood around Claremont Drive, Widnes

The 2021 census counted 128,478 residents in Halton across 55,951 households. 61.2% of those households own their home and 38.7% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

Section 09

How Claremont Drive, Widnes compares

The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Claremont Drive, Widnes sits below that national figure — -18.4%.

Within Widnes the street ranks 324 of 732 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £115,000 (+11.7%).

Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,711 per square metre, across 13 of the 83 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

The full range on record runs from £39,000 to £230,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.

Claremont Drive, Widnes sits in Halton, in the North West.

The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Halton at 5.2 times median local earnings of £37,336 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers

Common questions about this data

What is the average house price in Claremont Drive, Widnes?

The median price paid in Claremont Drive, Widnes across every sale on the register is £128,500. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.

How many homes have sold in Claremont Drive, Widnes?

83 sales are on record for Claremont Drive, Widnes, the most recent completing on 28 Nov 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

Have Claremont Drive, Widnes house prices actually risen?

In cash, the median rose +53.2% between 2006 and 2018. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +14.7%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.

When were Claremont Drive, Widnes house prices at their highest?

The highest yearly median on record is £180,000, set in 2018. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.

What is the price per square metre in Claremont Drive, Widnes?

£1,711 per square metre, from the 13 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.

How current is this data?

The latest sale shown here completed on 28 Nov 2025. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
