      Buy-to-Let Property Prices in Warrington

      Warrington’s property valuation has remained remarkably consistent over 12 months.

      The HM Land Registry UK House Price Index shows Warrington property prices were £261,376 on average in July 2023. A year previous, they were £257,733. Within that timeframe, they reached a peak of £267,673 in November 2022. However, rising interest and inflation rates have affected price growth across the country – Warrington included.

      This represents a year-on-year percentage change of 1.40%. In July 2022, Warrington enjoyed a year-on-year percentage change of 16.10%. As you can see, price growth has slowed in the area. However, the same is true for the rest of the UK.

      Currently, the average UK house price is £287,546 – 9.53% more expensive than Warrington.

      Rightmove states the most popular property types in Warrington are semi-detached houses, selling for £251,180 on average.

              Why You Should Consider a Buy-to-Let Investment in Warrington

              Economy

              Over the last decade, Warrington enjoyed substantial economic growth. A CityMetric report put Warrington as the most productive place in the North West. In addition, wages are comparable to Liverpool and Manchester, bringing people to the area looking for work.

              Transport Links

              Warrington can attribute its growth to the excellent transport links in the region. The town is located between Liverpool and Manchester. Commuters can access both cities by road and train. As such, the area is a good option for businesses and commuters alike.

              The town is next to the M6, M56 and M62. It also has rail connections that link Warrington to Birmingham, London and Manchester Airport. The local train stations can be found in the town centre, Birchwood, Padgate and Sankey, making these areas desirable for buy-to-lets.

              Regeneration

              The Warrington Town Centre Masterplan is set to make the town centre an attractive destination and a more desirable place to visit and relocate to. Regeneration projects are set to improve the local infrastructure and introduce 8,000 homes in the city centre.

              Plans for a Garden Suburb in the southeast part of the town could bring 7,400 new homes and employment opportunities.

                Warrington New-Builds

                As demand continues to outpace supply, newly built properties have emerged as a popular buy-to-let investment trend.

                With the latest amenities and almost zero maintenance work required before residents are able to move in, investors are likely to see high demand and a faster turnaround on rental returns.

                The Warrington Local Plan 2021-2039 aims to deliver new homes, jobs and infrastructure support to the region. One of their prime objectives is to provide a minimum of 14,688 new homes (around 816 per year) between 2038/39.

                With the market seemingly shifting towards this trend, investing in new-build properties like these could be a lucrative investment opportunity for investors.

                Off-Plan Property in Warrington

                Demand for new-build properties is rising, but the higher price point may be offputting for investors.

                To combat this, investors might find more affordability with off-plan investments, which allows buyers to purchase a property during the planning/construction stage.

                By getting involved early, off-plan investors will typically see discounted prices compared to standard market rates and potentially stronger levels of capital appreciation in the long run.

                Off-plan properties also retain the high rental demand seen with newly constructed developments, allowing for more robust rental returns.

                Whilst off-plan opportunities in Warrington may increase as regeneration ramps up in the coming years, a wider variety of options and target demographics are likely to be found in Liverpool City Centre.

                  How Does Warrington Compare to Other UK Regions When It Comes to Buy-to-Let?

                  If you are looking at buy-to-let opportunities in the North West, you are well informed. The North West has the best capital growth prediction in the UK, according to Savills, at 29.4%. In addition, Home.co.uk’s September Housing Price Market Report suggests the North West is leading the way for rental growth, recording over 15% increase over the last year.

                  However, if you are serious about property investment, you may want to consider Liverpool and Manchester.

                  Both cities have more sway with tenants – especially young professionals and students. Both are big student locations. Liverpool has over 70,000 students attending four universities, while the Greater Manchester area has over 100,000 students across five universities. This offers a fantastic opportunity for buy-to-let investors considering student properties.

                  Liverpool also offers much cheaper property prices. The UK House Price Index puts Liverpool’s average house price at £177,628. In addition, the rental yield is 7.77% – more than 2% higher than Warrington. Check out the latest UK housing market news to stay up to date with the latest trends and changes in the sector.
