Liverpool Property Market Update – Q2 2025

Liverpool’s market is still flying.

While much of the UK’s property market has been moving at a steady jog, Liverpool’s been sprinting. Prices are up over 11% compared to this time last year, making it one of the fastest-moving cities in England and Wales.

We’ve got more homes coming to market, mortgage rates are easing, and buyers are active — but they’re also pickier. This is a market where presentation and pricing make or break a sale.

The UK picture (in plain English)

Across the country, prices have barely moved, up only about 2% in the past year. That’s not a crash, but it’s not a boom either.

The big shift has been in mortgage costs. The Bank of England cut rates to 4.25% in May, and lenders have followed suit. The average two-year fixed deal is now about 4.5%, compared to over 5.3% last summer. For a typical buyer, that’s roughly £150 less each month — enough to make some who were on the fence start viewing houses again.

More sellers are testing the market too. Stock levels are the highest they’ve been in a decade, which means buyers have more choice. Good news if you’re buying, but if you’re selling, you’ll need to work harder to stand out.

Liverpool is in a league of its own

While the national market is ticking over, Liverpool’s still accelerating. The average home price here is around £180,000, up 11.6% in a year. Flats have seen the biggest lift (13%), and detached homes aren’t far behind (9%).

Why? Demand is still strong. Rightmove says sales agreed in Liverpool were 5–6% higher than this time last year, and buyer enquiries are up too. Even with more choice on the market, well-priced homes are moving fast. In fact, the average time to find a buyer here is under three weeks, compared to more than two months across the UK.

It’s also worth noting that Liverpool’s average sale price — just under £225,000 — is still well below the national average. That means buyers from pricier parts of the country see us as great value, which keeps the market moving.

What it means if you’re selling

Liverpool’s market is strong, but competition is higher than it’s been in years.

• Price it right and you’ll attract multiple offers quickly. Go in too high and you risk weeks of silence.

• Make it stand out — with so much choice, presentation and marketing need to be on point.

• Be ready to move — the best homes sell fast, especially in high-demand parts of the city.

Bottom line:
This is still one of the best markets in the country to sell in, but only if you get your strategy right from the start.
