Best value postcodes where homes are flying off market in Liverpool

Due to the current property market boom, house prices have shot up across the country.

According to Purplebricks, prices have grown at the fasted pace in the last 15 years, with the average price at a record high of £272,992.

Homes are flying off the market after and in some cases they're even selling without the buyer even viewing the property in person.

With the current housing climate being described as a 'seller's market', many buyers are looking for the best deal to get on the property ladder.

Reflecting on an extraordinary year for the housing market, Purplebricks has revealed the areas that are currently the best value in Liverpool.

Best value postcodes according to Purplebricks:

L8 - Dingle

L15 - Wavertree

L24 - Speke

L13 - Old Swan

L27 - Netherly

Local property partner at Purplebricks, Donna Lewis said: "These particular areas offer more value for money than other postcodes that are less that one mile away.

"Whilst still having great facilities and amenities, and good access to the City Centre, these areas offer more value as some are ex-local authority developments, which are now majority privately owned.

"Other areas within these postcodes, for example L15 (Wavertree), have a lot of rental properties and student lets, again making it less expensive to buy in these postcodes as there is sometimes less demand from a purchase aspect.

"L13 (Old Swan) and L8 (Dingle) are hugely dense residential areas with a lot of rooftops and less green space, making them more affordable compared to other parts of Liverpool."

Here we've listed properties in these postcodes that have come on the market in 2022 and are already sold subject to contact.

Flat 1 48 Devonshire Road, Liverpool, L8 3TZ

One bedroom apartment on Devonshire Road, Dingle (Purplebricks)

This property was listed on January 11 and sold within nine days. There were five offers and it sold over the asking price.

The buyers will benefit from a rear facing kitchen that has access to the back garden and a 'modern' bedroom and four-piece bathroom.

Outside there is a paved yard area leading through to a large lawn area.

Ms Lewis said: "I think this property sold so quickly because it’s located in a fantastic area with lots of recreational facilities surrounding it. It also has its own private entrance which is really rare for an apartment."

27 Sandy Lane, Liverpool, L13 0BT

Three bedroom semi-detached house on Sandy Lane, Old Swan (Purplebricks)

Listed on January 10 and sold in nine days. There were seven offers and it also sold for over the asking price.

Local property partner Jenny Collings said: "This property was popular with buyers because it is well presented, has great external space and there are excellent schools within the catchment area."

The property is described as being finished to an 'excellent standard' including two family sitting rooms.

There's also an 'enviable' kitchen boasting a breakfast bar.

70 Waterford Road, Liverpool, L27 1XN

Three bedroom terraced house on Waterford Road, Netherly (Purplebricks)

This home sold in just over two weeks, after 13 offers were made. It was bought for over the asking price.

It was described as being an 'ideal' home for first time buyers and families.

The garden features an artificial lawn and paved patio and a seating area to the rear and to the front is a large landscaped driveway offering off-road parking for multiple vehicles.

Local property partner Michael Wady said: "This is a great sized property for the price, with lots of outside space - something many people now want when looking for their next home."
