In November, the Land Registry revealed the average property in the UK was valued at £270,000 - above the average prices for both Liverpool and Merseyside.
Despite this, there are a number of areas across the region where property prices are well above the national average.
We've looked at the ten streets across Merseyside where property prices are the highest.
Looking at sales between January and October 2021 (the most recent available), the figures are based on data from the Land Registry, which lists the price paid for every residential property bought at market value which are then registered.
The data includes buy to let sales, repossessions, and property bought through companies.
Averages for each road are based on the median of all sale prices in January to October 2021. Streets with fewer than three sales are excluded.
