Southport property market: common questions

Where is Southport?

Southport sits on the edge of Merseyside, covering about 10 square miles.

What is the average house price in Southport?

The median asking price across the 378 homes for sale in Southport is £255,000 (as of 5 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £165,000 and £425,746. That is 16% above Merseyside. Homes that actually sold in Southport went for a median £220,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).

Are house prices in Southport rising or falling?

Rising. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Southport is up 42% over the last 10 years and up 4% over the last 12 months (12 months to January 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.

Is Southport cheaper than Merseyside?

No: asking prices in Southport are typically higher than across Merseyside. The median asking price in Southport is £255,000 against £220k across Merseyside: 16% above Merseyside. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The premium holds from the lower end to the top of the market.

How much do flats and houses cost in Southport?

The median asking price for a flat in Southport is £160,000. Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is detached houses, at a median £560,000 across 99 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.

How much is a two-bedroom flat in Southport?

How much is a three-bedroom house in Southport?

There is no single three-bedroom house price: the largest group of three-bedroom houses for sale in Southport is semi-detached houses, at a median asking price of £250,000 across 45 listings. The Size × type view on this page covers every combination we track.

What is the price per square foot in Southport?

In Southport, homes that sold went for a median £219 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £222 per sq ft.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (378 in Southport), refreshed daily, as of 5 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings.
  • Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Southport since May 2026.
  • Merseyside comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Merseyside, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
  • Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to January 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to July 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
