Data as of July 2026 · computed by Flatscout from live cross-portal listings and official open data
Liverpool remains one of the best-value big-city rental markets in the UK: waterfront and Ropewalks flats rent for a fraction of southern equivalents, while Aigburth and Woolton give the family-house end of the market room to breathe.
Liverpool currently has 2,332 live rental listings across the portals Flatscout tracks — Rightmove, Zoopla and SpareRoom — with a median asking rent of £950 a month for a whole property. Rooms in shared homes start lower, and the by-postcode table below shows how much the same budget buys in different corners of the city.
Everything on this page is computed from listings Flatscout scrapes and de-duplicates around the clock, joined with official open data: the ONS Price Index of Private Rents for the long-run trend, ONS earnings data for affordability, police.uk street-level crime, VOA council-tax bands, Ofcom broadband coverage, and EPC certificates matched to the homes actually being advertised right now. Figures refresh continuously — the numbers below were last computed in July 2026.
If you're actively hunting, the data has one practical message: well-priced Liverpool rentals go in hours, not days. Flatscout watches every portal and can alert you by email, WhatsApp or Telegram within minutes of a matching listing appearing — before most renters have refreshed the app.

The ONS Price Index of Private Rents puts the average rent across ALL Liverpool tenancies at £905/mo in June 2026 — up 5.9% on a year earlier. In January 2020 it was £597/mo. The ONS average sits below asking-rent medians because it includes existing tenancies, not just newly advertised homes.
Renting at the ONS average of £905/mo takes roughly 35% of the local median gross salary of £30,947 a year (ONS ASHE 2025). The conventional affordability threshold is 30%.
Of 2,332 live listings, 37% advertise a garden and 14% advertise parking. Portals under-report features, so treat these as a floor.
