Property Statistics for Melrose, Liverpool
Data last updated: July 2026
Sitting within one of Liverpool's denser residential districts, Melrose has recorded a 38% rise in property prices over the past five years — a figure that will stand out to any landlord weighing up where to invest in the city. Average purchase prices remain relatively accessible at £131,499, with average monthly rents of £796.80 producing a gross rental yield of 7.9%, which is a meaningful return in the current market. Rental demand is rated a landlord's market, though the average 56 days to let is worth factoring into void period calculations. Price growth over one and three years — 4% and 16.5% respectively — suggests steady rather than speculative momentum. The area is densely populated at over 17,000 people per km², with 39,911 residents across 18,504 households. Terraced housing dominates at 53.7% of stock, with social renting accounting for 33% of tenure. The deprivation index sits at 34/100, and the average household income of £31,400 gives a realistic picture of the tenant base here.
