Wirral's property scene includes some of the wealthiest parts of Merseyside.
It has some vast homes belonging to the rich and famous, from Olympic gold medallists to professional football managers and TV celebrities.
Such a desirable reputation can mean house prices in certain parts of the borough make it increasingly difficult to purchase a home.
