The Merseyside property market has shown both resilience and renewed momentum in Q2 2025, reflecting national patterns while also highlighting unique local trends across Liverpool, Wirral, and surrounding areas. Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord, first-time buyer, or investor, understanding what’s happening in the local market is key to making informed decisions.

Key Trends in the Merseyside Property Market

1. Steady Price Growth Across Liverpool

House prices in Liverpool and wider Merseyside have continued a modest upward trend. According to recent data, average house prices rose by approximately 2.1% in Q2 2025, driven largely by strong demand in popular postcodes such as L17 (Aigburth), L18 (Allerton), and L1 (City Centre apartments).

2. Increase in First-Time Buyers

There’s been a noticeable increase in first-time buyer activity across Merseyside, aided by improved mortgage availability and competitive fixed rates. Areas such as Bootle, Kirkby, and parts of Birkenhead continue to offer affordable entry points for buyers looking to get onto the property ladder.

3. Rental Market Remains Buoyant

The Liverpool rental market remains extremely competitive, with rental yields averaging between 6–8% in city centre and student areas like Kensington and Edge Hill. Demand for quality rental properties still outpaces supply, making this a strong period for landlords and buy-to-let investors.

4. Increased Interest in Suburban and Coastal Living

There’s growing demand for homes in suburban and semi-rural areas such as Formby, West Kirby, and Crosby. Buyers are prioritising outdoor space, schools, and lifestyle, part of a continued trend post-COVID that is still influencing the market in 2025.

5. Chain Progression and Speed Are Key

With rising demand, vendors are increasingly favouring buyers who are ready to move quickly. Chain-free buyers, or those with mortgage-in-principle certificates, are often securing properties over those with slower chains.

Merseyside Hotspots to Watch

  • Woolton & Childwall – Consistently high demand, particularly for family homes
  • Baltic Triangle – Ongoing regeneration is fuelling interest in modern flats
  • Maghull & Lydiate – Excellent value for money and strong community appeal
  • St Helens & Prescot – Affordable growth areas with good commuter links

What Does This Mean for You?

Whether you’re selling your home in Liverpool, looking to invest in Merseyside buy-to-let opportunities, or simply trying to navigate your next move, the current market presents both opportunity and competition. Accurate valuations, strong marketing, and proactive chain management are more important than ever.
