00:00The average house price in Liverpool has increased by almost ÂŁ100,000 in the last 20 years,
00:06with the average cost of a detached home skyrocketing by more than ÂŁ200,000.
00:12There's a lot to think about when buying a property, including its size, location and
00:17your budget.
00:18But if money was no object, if you could live anywhere in the city, where would it be?
00:23Well, we've been on the streets of Liverpool to find out.
00:26And I always like to be as close to the city centre as possible, so probably, I'd probably
00:32say, you know, in the, is it like the Knowledge Quarter, the Georgian Quarter?
00:36I like the old three-storey houses, but I like the really modern insides, so I'd probably
00:42go for there, yeah.
00:44Possibly round by the Cavern, that area.
00:49So you could just hop out any moment and go see some live music?
00:53Yeah.
00:54Well, I'd like to go back where I moved from, Grafton Grove, that's where I moved from Toxteth.
01:00We moved to Norris Green in 1979, and I'm sorry we ever moved from there, because they
01:07were lovely, they're lovely people in Toxteth.
01:10You do get a bad name when the Toxteth riots, but there's a lot of real nice people in Toxteth,
01:16you know.
01:17I think Bold Street stands out to me, it's just such a diverse of restaurants, clothing
01:21shops or whatever, and I've been to a lot of cities in the last few years, a lot of
01:27boarded up places, but Bold Street stands out, it's not a play-boarding site, and it
01:30looks very good and pulling for the shoppers, yeah.
01:33And the way it's changed since I moved, it's totally changed, now you wouldn't know it,
01:37you know, so, but like everywhere.
01:40Some parts of Liverpool are seeing homes sell for huge amounts of money.
01:43Statistics show that the cheapest street in the city has an average sole price of just
01:47ÂŁ27,500, while the most expensive was more than ÂŁ1,000,000.
01:52Winterhill Close in Calderstones has the priciest property, whilst New Road Court in Old Swan
01:58has the least expensive.
