Section 02
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 Columbia Road, Prescot 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. Columbia Road, Prescot 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 66 | 94.3% | £70,000 | £15,000 – £138,000 |
| Semi-detached | 4 | 5.7% | £44,950 | £33,500 – £110,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Columbia Road, Prescot
61 of the sales on record are leasehold and 9 freehold — 87.1% 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.
The median leasehold sale is £70,000 and the median freehold sale £68,000 — a gap of -2.9%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 61 | 87.1% | £70,000 |
| Freehold | 9 | 12.9% | £68,000 |
A further 4 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 Columbia Road, Prescot
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Knowsley, 58.9% of 83,978 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 2.7% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|

| B | 11,832 | 14.1% |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Knowsley at £829 a month as of Jun 2026 — £582 for a one-bedroom home and £898 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £70,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 14.21% 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 L34, 151 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 46 violent, 0 burglary, 0 vehicle-related and 18 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is about typical.
Against the 154,519 residents the 2021 census counted in Knowsley, that is 0.98 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.

How Columbia Road, Prescot compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Columbia Road, Prescot sits below that national figure — -55.6%.
Within Prescot the street ranks 498 of 570 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £115,000 (-39.1%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £931 per square metre, across 20 of the 70 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £15,000 to £138,000. 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.
Columbia Road, Prescot sits in Knowsley, in the North West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Knowsley at 5.0 times median local earnings of £39,064 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.

How many homes have sold in Columbia Road, Prescot?

When were Columbia Road, Prescot house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £67,500, set in 2004. 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 Columbia Road, Prescot?
£931 per square metre, from the 20 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.

The latest sale shown here completed on 8 May 2026. 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.
