The L33 4 (Kirkby) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 2,696 sales registered with HM Land Registry in L33 4 (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 data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.
In short: 20 registered 2026 sales put the L33 4 (Liverpool) median at £185,200, up 19% on five years earlier, with a mean of £191,600, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,240 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 2,696 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
L33 4 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside L33 (Liverpool). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical L33 4 home went from £52,600 in 1995 to £185,200 in 2026, roughly 3.5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 62%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2005. The market now sits about 23% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the L33 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 2004 (+36.9% on the year before); the weakest, 1997 (−15.7%). 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) | +0.1% | −2.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.6% | −1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.5% | +1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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 L33 4
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 20 L33 4 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 185 sales a year before the financial crisis and 53 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 L33 4 market
This is a thin market: 20 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Within L33, this sector trades 9% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
Rents around L33 4
The local authority for L33 4 is Knowsley, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £814 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £571 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,260, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £185,200 median sold price, £814 a month is £9,768 a year, a gross yield of 5.3%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in L: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the L area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £247,500 | £342,995 (+39%) | £545,000 (+59%) | £755,000 (+39%) |

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.
