One Merseyside area has seen house prices plummet over 12 months.
Duke's ward in Southport was one area in Merseyside where houses prices toppled and bucked the trend of rising property prices. According to the Office of National Statistics the ward's terraced houses were most affected as they fell by more than a quarter.
The ward covers a wide area of the seaside town, stretching across the coast and covering the promenade. The number of properties sold according to ONS figures stood at 265 for the year ending June 2021.
