L15 4 is one sector of L15 (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 cash terms the typical L15 4 home went from £30,000 in 1995 to £164,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 152%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 14% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the L15 4 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 2003 (+58.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2000 (−17.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +17.4% | +14.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +8.4% | +3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +7.1% | +3.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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.
How many homes change hands in L15 4
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
L15 4 recorded 22 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 133 sales a year before the financial crisis and 52 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The shape of the L15 4 market
Only 22 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes L15 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Within L15, this sector trades 20% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What tenants pay around L15 4
For renting purposes L15 4 sits in Liverpool. The ONS average private rent there is £901 a month (May 2026). 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.
Against the £164,500 median purchase price, a rent of £901 a month (£10,812 a year) works out at a 6.6% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

Moving up a bedroom in L: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the L area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
