Data last updated: October 2026

Property prices in Melrose have risen 44% over the past five years, reaching an average of £141,532 — a figure that still leaves room for meaningful yield. Landlords are currently achieving a gross rental yield of 7.3%, with average monthly rents of £797. The area sits within Liverpool's inner south, a densely populated district at over 17,000 residents per km², with terraced housing making up the majority of the stock at 53.7%. Around 23.9% of households are privately rented, and the rental market is currently rated a landlord's market, though average rental void periods of 60 days are worth factoring into projections. One-year price growth of 8.8% suggests continued momentum on the sales side, though properties are taking an average of 338 days to sell, indicating a cautious buying market. Deprivation remains a consideration, with a score of 34 out of 100, and average household income sits at £31,400. For landlords focused on yield over capital growth, the fundamentals here are worth examining seriously.
