Blundellsands market report L23, Liverpool
The L23 (Blundellsands) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 14,046 registered sales in L23 (Liverpool) since 1995, 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 July 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 154 registered 2026 sales put the L23 (Liverpool) median at £266,500, up 7% on five years earlier, with a mean of £300,900, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,770 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 14,046 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
L23 is the postcode district covering Blundellsands, Brighton-le-Sands, Crosby 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.

| 1996 | £58,000 | £122,319 | 495 |
| 1995 | £55,200 | £119,996 | 356 |
In cash terms the typical L23 home went from £55,200 in 1995 to £266,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 122%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2005, and today's median remains roughly 16% under it: a 2005 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the L23 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 2002 (+26.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−9.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −9.7% | −11.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.3% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.7% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 53% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £500,000 against £180,000 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 328 L23 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 500 sales a year before the financial crisis and 382 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.
What homes rent for around L23
L23 falls under Sefton, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £928 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £616 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,400 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Sefton
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £266,500 median sold price, £928 a month is £11,136 a year, a gross yield of 4.2%: 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 L23 market
Among the 40 measurable districts of its area, L23 ranks 7 by median price: firmly in the dearer tier.

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.
