Liverpool

Regeneration has taken over the landscape with new cranes cropping up on the skyline every day. What was once a sea of derelict buildings and rioting streets is now the home of a booming property market with pioneering developments around every corner. Billions of pounds worth of new properties plus renovations to existing structures puts the Liverpool property market on every investor’s radar, with average rental yields coming in at 8%. Liverpool’s existing culture of art, music and industry has been enhanced with galleries, live venues and museums.

The population is increasing year on year, highlighting a growing number of residents in need of accommodation, which there is simply not enough of. The rising prominence of Liverpool as a major northern city is also attracting many young professionals who seek luxury accommodation within walking distance of the city centre. Properties like ELEMENT- The Quarter are leading the way in this regard. Located in the thriving Knowledge Quarter, ELEMENT – The Quarter is the first eco-development in Liverpool and the North West. The stats that show that a large demographic responsible for much of the population growth is between 17 and 29, an ideal tenant for buy to let property.

Liverpool also has three universities and a huge student population of around 70,000, ensuring a high demand for student accommodation which therefore breeds high percentage yields for investors.
