Homebuyers are scrambling for houses in Britain’s latest property hotspot – on the tip of the Wirral peninsula.
The Merseyside town of Wallasey has over the past year recorded a bigger rise in asking prices than any town or city in Britain, according to the listings site Rightmove. And it’s family homes with gardens – a popular choice during lockdown – that have become must-have assets.

Wallasey was recently named as one of the most sought after property hotspots - and houses are being snapped up within days of being advertised.
And people are so keen to be able to snap up a house, Rightmove’s property expert Tim Bannister said some buyers are choosing to sell up first so that they are not part of a chain when they want to snap up their next dream home.
