Wavertree market report L15, Liverpool
The standing L15 (Wavertree) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 14,505 sales registered with HM Land Registry in L15 (Liverpool) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to August 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release. Page updated 19 October 2026.
In short: a typical L15 (Liverpool) home changed hands for £215,000 in 2026 (median of 167 registered sales, up 28% on five years earlier), with the mean at £221,200, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,220 per square metre over the last five years. Source: 14,505 completed sales on the HM Land Registry record since 1995, updated with each monthly release. No valuations, no asking prices.
L15 is the postcode district covering Wavertree in Liverpool. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

Today's L15 prices, from the sold record
In the L15 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £215,000, from 167 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £221,200, sitting practically level with it: prices here bunch tightly around the middle.
L15 prices by floor area
Per square metre, L15 homes have averaged around £2,220 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.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so L15 trades 25% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical L15 home went from £35,000 in 1995 to £215,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 183%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs.
Year-on-year change in the L15 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 2004 (+46.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−8.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 68% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £325,000 against £145,000 for a flat, 2.2 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | +13.9% | +11.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.0% | +0.2% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +7.4% | +2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.6% | +2.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
How many homes change hands in L15
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
L15 recorded 269 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 709 sales a year before the financial crisis and 300 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around L15
The local authority for L15 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.
Set against the £215,000 median sold price, £901 a month is £10,812 a year, a gross yield of 5.0%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
The shape of the L15 market
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.

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.
The L15 sales calendar
Take the 1,804 L15 sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: March completions lead with 9.6% of the total, April trails with 6.9%. The spread between the busiest and quietest months is small, so timing matters less here than in most markets; price and presentation decide more than the calendar.

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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £215,000 | £239,995 (+12%) | £285,000 (+19%) | £371,995 (+31%) | £515,500 (+39%) |
| Semi-detached | £150,000 | £185,000 (+23%) | £225,995 (+22%) | £295,000 (+31%) | £390,000 (+32%) |
| Terraced | £98,750 | £130,000 (+32%) | £150,000 (+15%) | £193,000 (+29%) | £250,000 (+30%) |
| Flat | £100,915 | £140,000 (+39%) | £177,500 (+27%) | £230,000 (+30%) | £250,000 (+9%) |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

Before you sell in L15: what the record supports
Ground the asking price in real sold prices first. The average prices map gives a rough value in a minute: start at L15's shading and zoom to the sold homes on the street itself. Agents work from this same Land Registry record when they value; this page puts it in front of you before they arrive.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
