Liverpool property prices continue to buck the national trend and have risen by more than the UK average once again, the latest official figures show.
The average Liverpool house price in July was £177,224, Land Registry data reveals – a 0.7% increase on June. This is a greater rise than across the North West, where prices increased by 0.3%, and above the 0.5% rise for the UK as a whole.
Over the last year, the average sale price of property in Liverpool rose by £1,500 - an 0.8% increase. First-time buyers in the city spent an average of £156,220 on their property – £960 more than a year ago.
