Allerton market report L18, Liverpool
The standing L18 (Allerton) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 13,020 sales registered with HM Land Registry in L18 (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.
Covers registered sales to July 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 142 registered 2026 sales put the L18 (Liverpool) median at £321,000, up 7% on five years earlier, with a mean of £369,300, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,240 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 13,020 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
L18 is a postcode district covering Allerton, Mossley Hill in Liverpool. It is the most useful size for market figures: tight enough to describe somewhere real, large enough that sales keep coming and the medians hold steady.

What L18 homes really sell for
The 2026 median for L18 is £321,000, taken from 142 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £369,300, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
What a square metre costs in L18

In cash terms the typical L18 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £321,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 168%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 15% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the L18 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 (+28.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−9.1%). 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, 39% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £630,000 against £195,000 for a flat, 3.2 times the price.

| Type | Median (2026) | Sales that year | All-time sales |
|---|---|---|---|

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.2% | −3.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.9% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Sales activity in L18
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 300 L18 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 492 sales a year before the financial crisis and 308 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 L18 market
Among the 40 measurable districts of its area, L18 ranks 3 by median price: firmly in the dearer tier.
The rental side of L18
The local authority for L18 is Liverpool, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £901 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £677 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,279 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Liverpool
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £321,000 median sold price, £901 a month is £10,812 a year, a gross yield of 3.4%: 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.

What happens to L18 prices now?

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.
Bedroom by bedroom: L prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the L area, from the Land Registry record. 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 | — | £247,500 | £342,995 (+39%) | £545,000 (+59%) | £755,000 (+39%) |
| Semi-detached | £160,000 | £194,995 (+22%) | £245,000 (+26%) | £350,000 (+43%) | £445,000 (+27%) |
| Terraced | £118,000 | £140,000 (+19%) | £165,000 (+18%) | £235,000 (+42%) | £317,050 (+35%) |
| Flat | £118,000 | £160,000 (+36%) | £230,000 (+44%) | £343,750 (+49%) | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
