Calendar years; a year’s median needs 5 sales of the type, so gaps are years with fewer.
Prices are as paid, not adjusted for inflation. Standard (category A) sales only; Land Registry adds a sale when it is registered, so the newest months fill in later.

29,801 new homes have been sold in Liverpool since 1995; the share peaked at 26% in 2018.

New builds and tenure · 3 years
A new home sold for a median £154,494
against £180,000 for a home sold on, 14% less, over three years. New homes are often a different mix from the homes sold on, so part of the gap is size and type.
36% of sales were leasehold
Nearly every flat in England and Wales is leasehold; among houses, 17% sold leasehold in Liverpool. A leasehold buyer owns the home for a fixed term and may pay ground rent and service charges; check the lease before you buy.
