European culture capital 2008 and the third in a top ten city destinations to visit by Rough Guide 2014, Liverpool is currently considered to be one of the hottest UK property locations to invest in.

The Liverpool housing market has seen prices climb by 7.8% over the past two years, unsurprising in a location that has attracted over £5 billion of physical investment and is strongly connected to global markets, with many multinationals including Barclays.

Liverpool offers a range of opportunities available for investment from prime commercial sites in the heart of the city to listed Victorian warehouses next to the motorway network. One example of an exciting investment opportunity in Liverpool is Liverpool Waters, a major development that includes new opportunities in the student property sector and is predicted to transform northern parts of the city.

So is Liverpool really a safe bet? In a city where homes are 75% cheaper than London, with average house prices at £109,600, property investment in Liverpool is considered a hotspot due to the high rental returns, thanks to the low house prices and high rental rates.

To find out more, the Property Investor and Homebuyer Show is being held at ExCel London on the 9th and 10th of October with investment and development specialists from the city to show everyone from first time investors to professional landlords the benefits of investing in such a vibrant city.
