We’ve seen the length of time detached houses spend on the market jump by a fifth in the year to June 2025, so some sellers are facing increasingly frustrating waits to find a buyer. By comparison, flats, which are by far the most common property type on the market in Liverpool, are seemingly getting snapped up quicker this year with a 17% shorter wait time to completion.
Our Regional Acquisitions Manager of the North of England, Patrick Woods, gives his verdict on the current state of the Liverpool housing market:
- Patrick Woods, The Property Buying Company
Here are the main factors affecting Liverpool’s housing market in 2025:
It’s a similar story across the country, but house prices in Liverpool in particular increased by 14.8% in the year to April 2025, according to the ONS. The average cost of a house in the area is now £183,000. Not only that, but first-time buyers are also having to pay more to get on the ladder, with their average amount paid increasing by 15.3% to £169,000 during the same period.
❌ The bad news: The pool of buyers, especially first-time buyers, might be getting smaller as prices get bigger, so sellers might find it increasingly difficult to sell.
✔ The good news: Cash buyers like The Property Buying Company are typically ready to buy straight away, so sellers can avoid lengthy waits on the open market.
The stamp duty changes that came into effect at the end of March 2025 led to an influx of buyers racing to beat the extra tax, so the subsequent months were expected to be quite volatile, making it difficult to “discern the underlying strength of the market,” according to Nationwide’s Media Centre.
❌ The bad news: Sellers are left with an unpredictable market of buyers with the risks of long waits and suitors pulling out.
✔ The good news: It’s still possible to sell quickly for up to 80% of the market value of your home to The Property Buying Company, so you don’t need to wait.
As covered by the HomeOwners Alliance, the lack of new housing in the UK and difficulties with supply and demand mean that house prices are staying relatively high, so buyers might be fewer and further between until they get more options from which to choose in the years to come.
❌ The bad news: Labour’s promise to stick to house-building targets will take years to come to fruition, so it might prove more difficult to find a buyer early in your selling journey.
✔ The good news: Sellers like you can sell Liverpool homes quicker by turning to cash buyers like us.

Weighing up your options for a quick house sale in 2025 might feel a little overwhelming, especially if you want to get it over and done with as quickly as possible. Let’s face it, nobody wants it to drag on for months now, do they?
Luckily for you, there’s a range of options for selling your house fast in Liverpool and the surrounding areas. You can sell via estate agents, either online or on the high street (the old-school way), you can sell via a local auction, or you can sell to a quick-sale company that’ll buy your house for cash.
It’s worthwhile comparing your options before you dive headfirst into any scenario so you can make sure you get the best deal for you—here’s how your options stack up:
Sale Method | You Pay | Average Sale Time |
---|---|---|
Selling at an auction | £2.5k-5k | 6-10 weeks |
Selling with The Property Buying Company | £0 | 2-3 weeks |
Selling via estate agents | £1k-5k | 16-52 weeks |
When it comes down to average times spent on the market, there’s quite a range for houses across the Liverpool area. Houses in Wallasey, for instance, were on the market for an average of 173 days in the year to June 2025, according to data from Home.co.uk. Those in Crosby, by comparison, spent 198 days on the market.
Those timelines represent annual increases of 13% and 31% respectively, which means sellers are increasingly being forced into waiting longer to offload their homes to a buyer in today’s market. It’s a similar story across the UK, too—sellers in Manchester and even across Wales are experiencing the same.
If you choose to sell to a cash buyer like The Property Buying Company, you can circumvent the long waits and even the fees that you’ll be expected to pay via estate agents or auctions—we’ll handle it all for you and could even buy your property in a matter of days.
