Best Places to Invest in UK Property: Liverpool

As a place to live, Liverpool is steeped in history, culture and character. A vibrant area of the North West, sitting just north of the River Mersey, West of Warrington and South of Manchester, Liverpool is the fifth largest metropolitan area in the UK. Seeing growth in both size and status as a major port, Liverpool was established as a City in 1880. The associated boom in economy and diversity born from the port’s handling of general cargo, coal & cotton and its movement of English and Irish immigrants saw it become a melting pot of cultures and drove its transition to a tourist destination; eventually becoming the seventh most visited city in the UK.

Looking to art galleries, museums and listed buildings, Liverpool has the second highest figure in the UK with only the capital outstripping this number.  Beginning with the astonishing popularity of the Beatles, a popularity that has seen them called the most influential band in history, Liverpool’s musical offering has produced no fewer than 56 number 1 hit singles – more than other city worldwide – and that heritage is still highly visible, city-wide today.

Liverpool truly is a beautiful place to live, work and visit, most notably Pier Head. The illustrious riverside city centre area is a UNESCO world heritage site notable for The Three Graces – the grade I listed Royal Liver Building, the grade II* listed Cunard Building and the Port of Liverpool Building – three imposing, ornate and majestic structures that adorn the city’s waterfront and symbolise Liverpool’s international prestige. Further along The Strand is another component of Liverpool’s Maritime Mercantile City world heritage site – the Royal Albert Dock; home to the largest single collection of grade I listed buildings in the UK and the most popular multi-use attraction outside of London.

Over the last 20 years there has been extensive investment in property in the city, initially starting with student accommodation to house city’s 70,000 strong student population. The student population is spread between five higher education establishments the Red-Brick, Russel group University of Liverpool, the large Liverpool John Moore’s, Liverpool Hope, Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts and Edge Hill University. These establishments are listed in 24 different university rankings and 6 subject specific rankings.

The city boasts impeccable transport links locally, nationally and internationally from its myriad of local train & bus routes, to Liverpool Lime Street terminus railway station and Liverpool John Lennon airport that handles over 5million passengers annually.

… and finally, the people are a breed all of their own, friendly, resilient and painfully funny - Scousers have their own unique identity, accent and way of life…they aren’t English, they’re Scouse.
