L31 6 is one sector of L31 (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.

House prices per square metre in L31 6

In cash terms the typical L31 6 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £225,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 107%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2006, and today's median remains roughly 20% under it: a 2006 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the L31 6 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 (+52.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−11.9%). 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) | +1.4% | −1.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.7% | +0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.6% | −1.1% |
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
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.
L31 6 recorded 17 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 60 sales a year before the financial crisis and 41 a year over the last five. 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.
Rents around L31 6
L31 6 falls under Sefton, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £928 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £616 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,400, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Sefton
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £225,000 median purchase price, a rent of £928 a month (£11,136 a year) works out at a 4.9% 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.
The shape of the L31 6 market
Only 17 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes L31 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the L31 district median, L31 6 sits 12% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

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. 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.
