Property Statistics for Dovecot, Liverpool
Data last updated: August 2026
Built largely in the mid-20th century as a planned residential expansion of Liverpool, Dovecot is a predominantly owner-occupied suburb with a settled, established character. With average property prices at £188,655 and a gross rental yield of 6.5%, the numbers present a reasonably straightforward case for landlords seeking affordable entry points with decent returns. Monthly rents average £941.60, and five-year price growth of 21.7% suggests the area has performed solidly over the medium term, even if annual growth has moderated to 2.5%. The housing stock is dominated by semi-detached properties at 46.2%, with terraced homes making up a further 28.3% — both typically practical for the private rental market. At 14.7%, the private rented sector is relatively modest here, with owner-occupation the norm. Crime is rated low, average household income sits at £36,700, and the deprivation index of 25/100 signals this is one of the more challenged parts of Merseyside — context worth weighing alongside the yield figures before committing.
