What a home in L5 sells for

Price per square metre in L5

In cash terms the typical L5 home went from £21,000 in 1995 to £134,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 195%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2009. The market now sits about 14% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
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, 2018 (−35.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 58% of the typed total. In 2020, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £199,000 against £77,000 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.1% | −3.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.9% | 0.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.4% | +2.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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.
Sales activity in L5
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 52 sales completed in L5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 218 sales a year before the financial crisis and 98 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 kind of market L5 is
This is a thin market: 52 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. In its area's price order L5 comes 39 of 40, towards the cheaper end of the table.
What tenants pay around L5
The local authority for L5 is Liverpool, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
Average monthly rent by size, Liverpool
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £134,500 median purchase price, a rent of £901 a month (£10,812 a year) works out at a 8.0% 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.

What another bedroom costs in L
Real sold prices by size across the L area, straight 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.

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
