Investors are capitalising on Liverpool being very much open for business. Projects such as Liverpool Waters, the Anfield Regeneration and Ten Streets are bringing reams of office, commercial and residential units back to areas that have been disused or neglected in previous decades. In Anfield, for example, the rejuvenation project founded in 2013 is much more than just an expansion to the football ground’s seating count. It has seen £260m invested in the famous stadium’s surrounding area, with the building of new homes, commercial premises, and even a hotel. What were once derelict buildings will be transformed into homes that will be highly sought-after in the near future of this investment hotbed.

Growth has also been boosted by a sharp rise in interest in Liverpool property from overseas investors. Chinese investors have increased their interest in the city’s housing stock by 160% over the period of January 2017 to January 2018. Newly relaxed investment regulations passed down by President Xi Jinping and his government have allowed Chinese investors to take advantage of the historical and friendly links between their country and Liverpool. This is hopefully set to be emblematic of Liverpool’s investment attraction going forward, showing that the area will continue to remain popular with international audiences in the face of Brexit uncertainty.
