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 Smithford Walk, Prescot values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Smithford Walk, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 68 | 98.6% | £142,500 | £94,500 – £440,000 |
| Semi-detached | 1 | 1.4% | £104,500 | £104,500 – £104,500 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Smithford Walk, Prescot
31 of the sales on record are leasehold and 38 freehold — 44.9% 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 £135,500 and the median freehold sale £144,000 — a gap of +6.3%. 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 | 31 | 44.9% | £135,500 |
| Freehold | 38 | 55.1% | £144,000 |
| New build | 44 | 63.8% | £132,000 |
| Existing home | 25 | 36.2% | £257,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -48.6%. 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 5 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 Smithford Walk, Prescot
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Halton, 51.9% of 60,140 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 2.5% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 311 | 0.5% |
| B | 6,697 | 11.1% |
| C | 24,200 | 40.2% |
| D | 21,362 | 35.5% |
| E | 6,046 | 10.1% |
| F | 1,179 | 2.0% |
| G | 345 | 0.6% |
The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Halton at £741 a month as of Jun 2026 — £541 for a one-bedroom home and £817 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £142,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 6.24% 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 L35, 223 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 94 violent, 1 burglary, 1 vehicle-related and 29 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.3 times busier.
Against the 128,478 residents the 2021 census counted in Halton, that is 1.74 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 Smithford Walk, Prescot
The 2021 census counted 128,478 residents in Halton across 55,951 households. 61.2% of those households own their home and 38.7% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
12 state and independent schools have a L35 postcode: 9 primary, 2 secondary, 1 nursery. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

Smithford Walk, Prescot sits in Halton, in the North West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Halton at 5.2 times median local earnings of £37,336 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.
