A northern beacon of culture, the birthplace of the Beatles and home to the European Football champions, Liverpool is a city that has a lot going for it

Why Liverpool is One of the Best Places in the UK to Buy Property at the Moment

Not only is it a desirable place to visit for tourists, but it’s increasingly becoming a popular spot to live, and this is reflected in its investment prospects. 

Here are some of the many reasons why Liverpool is one of the best places in the UK to buy property at the moment. 

House prices are rising more than any other city in the country 

Not only is the city one of the most affordable areas to buy property in the country, with the current average house price sitting at around £168,000, but the Liverpool Echo recently reported that in the last year, ten Merseyside postcodes increased in price on average faster than anywhere else in the region. Here are some of the top spots: 

  • The L21 postcode, including the areas of Litherland, Seaforth and Waterloo, has increased in year on year value by around 2.29%. 

  • The L15 postcode, encompassing Wavertree, has increased in its average house price value by around 1.58% year-on-year, or roughly £2,477. 

  • The L31 postcode increased by £3,429 from May 2018 through 2019, covering areas in Maghull, Lydiate and Melling. 

According to Money Magpie, property investment has the potential to give investors high returns and become a tangible asset. Doing so in a city such as Liverpool will mean you earn a lot of capital appreciation on your property. This is especially true since the regeneration of Liverpool continues to expand and grow every day.  

Another excellent statistic to support the city comes from TotallyMoney’s UK Buy-to-Let yield map for 2018/19, which calculates the highest average rental yield spots in the country. While Nottingham’s NG1 takes the top spot, with a stellar average yield of 11.99%, Liverpool comes close behind and features six of the top 25 postcodes in the list, more than any other city. 

Student tenant demand 

Much like many other big cities throughout the UK such as Manchester and Leeds, Liverpool has a thriving student population and one that is increasingly looking for housing in the city centre, with on-the-doorstep access to the surrounding city. Luckily for these some 70,000 students, developments are plentiful and look to offer precisely the sorts of luxury amenities and facilities they now prefer over the student squalor of yesteryear. Student accommodation has increasing demand as more students from overseas and across the country move up North. Liverpool has great student nightlife, and a lot of cultures to explore when you’re there which makes it the perfect place to study.  

The city’s growing development 

The Baltic Triangle area of Liverpool is another sector of the city that is experiencing significant growth currently, and also a great amount of regeneration. With an abundance of local businesses and bars and restaurants inhabiting the once-abandoned warehouses of the area, this newfound surge in popularity has forged a digital sector that is now regarded as a valuable part of the city’s economy. Many young people are flocking to the city for its hum of energy and creative buzz, and it is one of the many factors encouraging the city’s university graduates to stay and work in Liverpool after they complete their education.
