Liverpool Property Market Predictions

Future Liverpool Price Growth Predictions

Experts predicted UK house prices would drop 5-10% at the start of the year due to the cost of living crisis and rising interest rates.

Savills estimated that prices would fall by 10%. However, Zoopla estimated a more modest 5% fall.

In their September House Price Index, Nationwide stats showed that house prices had fallen by 5.3%.

However, Zoopla’s index predicted UK property sales would reach one million by the end of the year – this is roughly 20% of the 2022 sales figure.

While property prices have been predicted to stagnate in 2024, experts expect improvement for 2025 and beyond. Savills, for instance, has predicted a 7% house price increase in 2026. In Liverpool, property price growth is set to see the most impressive rise of 11.70% by 2027.

Let’s look at how this compares to the overall UK region:

	2023	2024	2025	2026	2027	Five years to 2027
North West	-8.50%	2.50%	4.50%	7.50%	6.00%	11.70%
UK	-10%	1.00%	3.50%	7.00%	5.50%	6.20%

Source: Savills Regional Mainstream Forecast (November 2022)

As you can see, the North West is predicted to enjoy 5.5% more growth than the overall UK average, making it one of the most promising buy-to-let markets in the country.

Future Liverpool Rental Growth Predictions

According to Statista, the rental growth rate in the UK is expected to increase by 18%.

Interestingly, the growth is expected to be stronger throughout the rest of 2023 and 2024.

ONS data from September 2023 showed that rental prices increased by 5.5% on average over the last year.

Statista expects a 4% rental rise in 2024 alone due to the current cost-of-living crisis.

Typically, in these cases, as interest rates decrease, more people can climb the housing ladder, slowing rental growth.

Savills predicts a 6.5% rise in rental growth in 2024 before slowing in 2025. They expect renters will return to committing the same proportion of their wages on property costs as they did in the mid-2010s. They also predict a compounded rental rise of 18.3% across the UK, excluding the London property market.

Like the rest of the United Kingdom, the Liverpool rental market is expected to remain resilient for the foreseeable future.

Past Liverpool Property Market Performance

The Liverpool property market underwent significant changes over the past few years.

At the beginning of 2020, Boris Johnson’s landslide victory caused optimism among forecasts. However, COVID-19 ushered in a slump from March 2020, threatening a housing market crash.

In July 2020, Savills recorded a 60% increase in UK property following the introduction of the Stamp Duty holiday.

These figures were echoed in the Liverpool property market, which saw a 14.75% price increase by December 2020.

A year later, property prices had risen by another 7.98%. Additionally, December 2022 saw Liverpool property prices enjoy a yearly rise of 11.90%.

However, rising inflation due to extraneous factors caused the Bank of England to raise interest rates. As such, price growth began to slump in 2023 as fewer people could afford to purchase properties.

Where Are the Best Areas in Liverpool to Invest in?

Liverpool is a city on the rise. With the North West expecting serious growth by 2027, property investors today rightly look to Liverpool and Manchester for exciting buy-to-let opportunities.

Many areas are on the cusp of enormous growth. These locations may be an excellent place to start if you are a first-time buyer in the city or looking to expand your portfolio further.

These areas include:

Baltic Triangle

Since 2012, the Baltic Triangle has undergone many regenerative changes. According to The Times, substantial investment has transformed the area into one of the “coolest places to live”.

Roughly £128 million worth of investment has gone into the Baltic Triangle regen, with more capital expected for the district in the future.

Investment has created 500 new jobs, with another 800 on the way. Major regeneration in Liverpool includes re-opening St James station, making the area more accessible to visitors and commuters.

In 2020, a master plan detailed the Baltic Triangle’s regeneration pathway. This included the train station, a public park, and green corridors. These changes ensure the area will continue to thrive for years to come.

Notable development projects include One Baltic Square and Parliament Square. These apartment blocks offer stunning amenities and proximity to the waterfront and the trendy bars that make the Baltic Triangle popular with young professionals.

For more on this area, take a look at our recent RWinvest Baltic Triangle Guide.

Knowledge Quarter

Liverpool has four top universities – three of which have city centre campuses. This area is known as the Knowledge Quarter – a health, technology, and science innovation hub.

The Knowledge Quarter has enjoyed significant investment since 2000. More than £1 billion has been injected into the area, promoting business investment that targets the 70,000 students calling Liverpool their home.

In collaboration with the Liverpool City Council, the area aims to close the divide between North and South England’s economies.

One of the top residential developments in the area is Element The Quarter, the first eco-development in Liverpool.

This complex utilises sustainable technology and is well situated in the heart of the Knowledge Quarter, only minutes from the University of Liverpool campus, Royal Liverpool Hospital, and the exciting student village.
