| 1996 | £38,000 | £80,140 | 512 |
| 1995 | £39,000 | £84,780 | 533 |
In cash terms the typical L9 home went from £39,000 in 1995 to £160,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 89%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 18% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the L9 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 (+42.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.5%). 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, 53% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £295,000 against £78,000 for a flat, 3.8 times the price.

| Semi-detached | £210,000 | 35 | 4,199 |
| Terraced | £150,000 | 49 | 7,464 |
| Flats | £78,000 | 11 | 959 |
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +4.2% | +1.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.2% | −0.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.8% |
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.
Sales activity in L9
The year-by-year sales count
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.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 245 sales completed in L9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 686 sales a year before the financial crisis and 286 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.
What tenants pay around L9
L9 falls under Liverpool, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £901 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £677 a month here against £1,279 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Liverpool
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £160,000 median purchase price, a rent of £901 a month (£10,812 a year) works out at a 6.8% 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 price of an extra bedroom in L
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.

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.
