Property Statistics for Toxteth, Liverpool
Data last updated: July 2026
Known for the Princes Road Synagogue and its Victorian boulevard architecture, Toxteth is a dense inner-city area of Liverpool with a population of just over 32,000 and a property market that presents a credible case for buy-to-let investment. Average property prices sit at £176,197, with a gross rental yield of 6.6% and average monthly rents of £894 — figures that reflect a landlord's market where rental demand is reasonably consistent. Rental properties average 55 days on market, which is manageable given the area's large private rented sector, which accounts for 30% of housing stock, against a notably high social rented proportion of 48.9%. Sales are slower, averaging 435 days on market, and price growth has dipped over one and three years, though the five-year figure of 20.3% suggests longer-term value. The deprivation index of 29/100 and a health index of 47/100 point to ongoing socioeconomic challenges, and prospective landlords should weigh these alongside the area's high population density and relatively low average household income of £32,500.
