Situated on the Wirral Peninsula along the west bank of the Mersey River, Birkenhead has become a popular residential area due to its proximity across the Mersey River to central Liverpool.
Historically part of Cheshire, Birkenhead’s history has been steeped in ship building and related industries. However the town has clung onto its suburban roots rather than becoming an urban centre, with prices reflecting this mindset. An average home will set you back just £96,781.
