In cash terms the typical L39 3 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £262,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 137%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2006; the current median sits about 16% below that. Someone who bought at the 2006 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the L39 3 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 (+37.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2014 (−9.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What L39 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −0.6% | −2.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +7.2% | +2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.8% |
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.
How many homes change hands in L39 3
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.
L39 3 recorded 20 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 64 sales a year before the financial crisis and 40 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 tenants pay around L39 3
L39 3 falls under West Lancashire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £799 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £584 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,225, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, West Lancashire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£799 a month is £9,588 a year, which against the £262,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.7%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
What kind of market L39 3 is
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. 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.

What is for sale in L39 right now
The live side of the market holds 14 homes at the moment, listed by 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole L39 district, not just L39 3: live asking prices are collected per district.
14% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
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.
Bedroom by bedroom: L prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the L area. 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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
