L5 local market report Liverpool

Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 5,924 sales registered with HM Land Registry in L5 (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 April 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.

L5 is the postcode district covering Anfield, Everton, Kirkdale 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.

What a home in L5 sells for

The 2026 median in L5 is £91,200, from 42 registered sales; the mean, £132,700, sits well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.

For scale: the England and Wales median is £274,000, so L5 trades 67% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical L5 home went from £21,000 in 1995 to £91,200 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 105%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not just more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2009; the current median sits about 40% below that. Someone who bought at the 2009 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

Year-on-year change in the L5 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 (+133.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2002 (−34.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

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.

L5 recorded 163 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 179 sales a year recently, against 218 a year before 2008. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.

What homes rent for around L5

L5 falls under Liverpool, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £901 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £677 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,279, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

Set against the £91,200 median sold price, £901 a month is £10,812 a year, a gross yield of 11.9%: 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.

Will L5 prices rise from here?

Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is down 12% over five years in cash but down 29% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.

Ladders and snakes: five-year risers and fallers

L5 ranks 38 of 40 in the L area on five-year growth. The gap between the top and bottom of this chart is the difference between buying well and buying badly in the same city.
