Property Statistics for Liverpool City Centre, Liverpool
Data last updated: May 2026
Home to the iconic Cavern Club where The Beatles launched their career, Liverpool City Centre presents a mixed investment picture for prospective landlords. With average property prices at £164,766 and monthly rents around £818, the area delivers a gross rental yield of 6.53%, though this comes alongside significant challenges. Property values have declined substantially, dropping 28.6% over the past year and 31.67% over three years, creating a pronounced buyer's market where properties take an average of 1,521 days to sell. The rental market shows more stability with balanced demand and properties letting within 102 days on average. The area's 7,091 residents live at high density across predominantly purpose-built flats (52.6%), with 56.7% of properties privately rented. However, landlords must factor in the very high crime rate of 1,455 incidents per 1,000 residents and a deprivation index of 18/100. The population is well-educated with 48% holding degrees, though average household income sits at £40,300 and car ownership is low at 0.5 vehicles per household, reflecting the urban environment and transport links.
