How Kings Waterfront, Liverpool prices moved
The chart tracks the median Kings Waterfront, Liverpool house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2003 to 2010. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000s | 6 | £141,950 | £258,591 |
| 2010s | 1 | £139,500 | £196,695 |
The highest yearly median on record for Kings Waterfront, Liverpool is £180,000 in 2007; the lowest is £120,390 in 2003. Across the full 8-year record the cash median has moved from £120,390 to £139,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £227,547, so the real change over the whole record is -2.1% — about -0.30% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +15.9% in cash against -2.1% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Kings Waterfront, Liverpool values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Kings Waterfront, Liverpool is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat or maisonette | 308 | 100.0% | £131,390 | £74,700 – £240,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Kings Waterfront, Liverpool
308 of the sales on record are leasehold and 0 freehold — 100.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 308 | 100.0% | £131,695 |
| Freehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| New build | 193 | 62.7% | £120,000 |
| Existing home | 115 | 37.3% | £143,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -16.1%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 7 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Living in Kings Waterfront, Liverpool
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Liverpool, 49.1% of 295,568 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 4.6% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 696 | 0.2% |
| B | 30,216 | 10.2% |
| C | 114,071 | 38.6% |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Liverpool at £905 a month as of Jun 2026 — £680 for a one-bedroom home and £954 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £131,695 here, that rent is a gross yield of 8.25% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of L3, 1,604 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 451 violent, 51 burglary, 24 vehicle-related and 182 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 9.6 times busier.
Against the 486,088 residents the 2021 census counted in Liverpool, that is 3.30 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.
Section 08
The neighbourhood around Kings Waterfront, Liverpool
The 2021 census counted 486,088 residents in Liverpool across 207,491 households. 47.4% of those households own their home and 52.4% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
5 state and independent schools have a L3 postcode: 3 primary, 1 16 plus, 1 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

How Kings Waterfront, Liverpool compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Kings Waterfront, Liverpool sits below that national figure — -16.4%.
Within Liverpool the street ranks 2577 of 6615 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £105,000 (+25.4%).
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.
The full range on record runs from £74,700 to £240,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
Kings Waterfront, Liverpool sits in Liverpool, in the North West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Liverpool at 4.7 times median local earnings of £38,430 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Kings Waterfront, Liverpool?
The median price paid in Kings Waterfront, Liverpool across every sale on the register is £131,695. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Kings Waterfront, Liverpool?
308 sales are on record for Kings Waterfront, Liverpool, the most recent completing on 22 Dec 2010. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Kings Waterfront, Liverpool house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +15.9% between 2003 and 2010. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is -2.1%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Kings Waterfront, Liverpool house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £180,000, set in 2007. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Kings Waterfront, Liverpool?
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 22 Dec 2010. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
