What that means for your property
- The Liverpool median (£185,000) is the middle of homes that sold on the open market — most in reasonable condition, bought by people who could wait for a mortgage and survey.
- Homes needing major work, with short leases, tenants in place or non-standard construction often sell nearer to, or below, the lower quartile (£140,000).
- A direct sale to us will normally be below open-market value. We’ll show you exactly how we reach our figure.
- If your home is in good condition and you have time, an estate agent will usually get you more — and we’ll say so.
Housing in Liverpool
Local context that affects how quickly homes sell and what buyers will pay. For council services, see Liverpool City Council.
- Victorian and Edwardian terraces make up a large share of homes in the north and inner districts, and many are rented.
- Areas near the universities (L7, L15) have many houses let to students and sharers, some as licensed HMOs.
- South Liverpool (L17, L18, L25) has more semis and detached houses, and prices there sit well above the city median.

Questions about selling in Liverpool
Do you buy terraced houses in Liverpool that need work?
Yes. A lot of what we look at in Liverpool is older terraced housing that needs updating or repairs. Condition affects the price, but it doesn’t stop us looking at it.
Can you buy a Liverpool house with tenants or an HMO licence?
Often, yes. Tell us about the tenancy (or HMO licence) and we’ll explain how it affects the purchase. If a sale with the tenants in place isn’t realistic, we’ll say so.
Why is your offer lower than the Liverpool average price?
The average reflects homes sold on the open market, mostly in reasonable condition, to buyers who could wait. A direct sale is usually below open-market value because we take on the repairs, costs and risk. Our offer explained page shows how we work it out.
About these figures. Completed sales registered with HM Land Registry, May 2025 – April 2026 — prices people actually paid, not asking prices or estimates. Standard market sales only; transfers, repossession sales and other non-market transactions are excluded. Postcode districts are limited to the borough shown. Groups with fewer than 10 sales aren't reported. These are area figures, not a valuation of any individual property.
