Yearly median of standard sales, not adjusted for inflation. 2026 covers January to August only, and the ringed bar, 2025, is the latest full year.

The median rose 52%, from £120,000 in 2016 to £182,500 in 2025, the same as the 52% rise across the North West as a whole.

Leasehold homes

34% of sales in Liverpool were leasehold, against 33% across the North West as a whole. Flats made up only 21% of sales, so many houses here are leasehold too: ask who owns the freehold and what the ground rent is.
