What that means for your property
- The Wirral median (£222,000) 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 (£160,000).
- 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.

Questions about selling in Wirral
Do you buy houses in Birkenhead and Wallasey?
Yes — including older terraces and flats that need work. These are some of the areas where a direct sale is most often worth considering, because condition can put mortgage buyers off.
Is it worth selling a Heswall or West Kirby house directly?
Often not. Well-presented homes in higher-value parts of the Wirral usually achieve more on the open market. We’ll tell you if we think an estate agent would do better for you.
Do you cover the whole of the Wirral?
We look at properties across the Wirral peninsula. Tell us the postcode and we’ll let you know.
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.
