GVA
Top Postcodes for Rental Yields
Liverpool is a huge contributor to the Northern Powerhouse, with a GVA of over £32 billion. With a population of approximately 2.3 million, it ranks highly as the fifth-largest metropolitan area in the UK. The investment opportunities are endless for Liverpool. With an abundance of regeneration projects in the pipeline, Liverpool’s economic prowess continues to grow year on year. This is attracting enormous investment from global companies choosing to relocate office space there.
In 2019, Liverpool ranked as the best UK city for buy-to-let yields with five of the top 10 best postcodes for rental yields situated in the city. These high-ranking yields come as no surprise, as Liverpool has the perfect formula for profitable investment property. It is an extremely affordable city, both for its residents and to invest in property. Also, rental demand is increasingly high due to its large student population and growing workforce. As a result, Liverpool presents a robust and attractive property market for investors to invest in.
One of the UK's most
Affordable Property Markets
Liverpool boasts some of the most affordable property prices in the UK with the average property price standing at £196,751. For comparison, Liverpool property prices are almost £100,000 cheaper than the UK average. However, prices in Liverpool are rapidly increasing as the economy continues to prosper and the demand for property increases. In the last 12 months alone, property prices rose by an eyewatering 11.4%, smashing the national average.
This presents a great choice for investors. In particular, first-time investors. If you have a smaller budget and are looking for a city that can still generate significant rental yields and strong capital growth, you can rest assured that Liverpool will deliver impressive returns.
Regeneration
Reshaping the City
Liverpool has experienced considerable regeneration in the last few decades, with ample more in the pipeline.
The current expansion plans amount to over £14 billion of investment. Most significantly, the regeneration of Liverpool Waters – a £5.5 billion investment and revolutionising this historic city’s skyline. Construction, which began in 2018, aims to transform the derelict buildings along with the city’s popular waterfront sector. The project aims to create a multi-use vicinity with a mix of commercial, residential, and leisure amenities. It will be one of the most remarkable new building projects in the UK, combining exceptional architecture and design with unique creativity.
Liverpool Waters will see the creation of five distinct neighbourhoods, adding to the existing 9,000 spectacular waterfront apartments overlooking the River Mersey. Since the £5.5 billion project has begun, it has already been attracting lots of attention as it gathers momentum and starts taking shape. This could be the perfect time to tap into Liverpool’s buy to let market whilst prices remain low.
