City centre market report L1 0, Liverpool
The L1 0 (City centre) house price history in full, 2003 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 943 registered sales in L1 0 (Liverpool) since 2003, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 6 registered 2026 sales put the L1 0 (Liverpool) median at £150,000, up 0% on five years earlier, with a mean of £151,700, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,240 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 943 completed HM Land Registry sales since 2003, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
L1 0 is one sector of L1 (Liverpool): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

In the L1 0 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £150,000, from 6 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £151,700, sitting practically level with it: prices here bunch tightly around the middle.
What a square metre costs in L1 0
Per square metre, L1 0 homes have averaged around £3,240 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.

In cash terms the typical L1 0 home went from £150,000 in 2003 to £150,000 in 2026, a 0% rise. Strip out inflation and it is actually a fall of about 46%: a typical home here costs less in real terms than it did in 2003. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2008. The market now sits about 46% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the L1 0 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 2026 (+101.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2013 (−65.7%). 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) | +101.3% | +96.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | 0.0% | −4.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +8.0% | +4.4% |
| 21 years (since 2005) | +1.7% | −1.0% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 6 sales completed in L1 0. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 64 sales a year over the last five years against 1 before the financial crisis. 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 kind of market L1 0 is
This is a thin market: 6 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
What homes rent for around L1 0
The local authority for L1 0 is Liverpool, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £901 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £677 a month here against £1,279 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Liverpool
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£901 a month is £10,812 a year, which against the £150,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 7.2%. 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.

On the market in L1 today
The live side of the market holds 78 homes at the moment, listed by 12 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole L1 district, not just L1 0: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 22% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
- Pilgrim Street, Liverpool, Merseyside...

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
What another bedroom costs in L
What homes of each size actually sold for across the L area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £247,500 | £342,995 (+39%) | £545,000 (+59%) | £755,000 (+39%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
