Property experts are predicting a significant shift in the north and south property markets, with housing in the North becoming increasingly in demand over the coming years. There has been an influx of professionals deciding to move away from London to areas that are cheaper to live in, where they can benefit from more space for their money. This increase in demand for northern properties has introduced big investment opportunities. We have detailed below the Liverpool property investment hotspots to help you make informed investment decisions.
Many areas across the North are undergoing significant periods of regeneration and Liverpool has been one of the top cities to benefit from large scale regeneration and capital investment projects. Investment into areas such as Anfield, the Baltic Triangle and the northern part of the waterfront has delivered huge improvements to parts of Liverpool that were previously less appealing to live in or to buy property for investment purposes.
Here are some of the other major regeneration and capital investment projects across Merseyside:
Liverpool Festival Gardens Investment
Remediation work has been underway for almost a year as part of the Festive Gardens project to turn derelict land into 1,500 new eco-friendly homes. The site is located next to Otterspool Promenade in south Liverpool and was previously a landfill tip, which is why there is a requirement for a large amount of remediation work. The ground infrastructure works alone is costing £8.5m, funded by Liverpool City Council, Liverpool City Region Combined Authority and Homes England.
Paddington Village
The 30-acre Paddington Village site is a £1 billion expansion to the city centre’s Knowledge Quarter. The regeneration of this area is expected to create around 10,000 new jobs in Liverpool and is described as a similar type of area to Greenwich Village in New York. The area will include high specification accommodation, as well as state-of-the-art workspaces and hospitality and retail units.
Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle Properties
This area regularly draws comparisons to Camden & Shoreditch in London. Distinctively unique with street art and an abundance of independent businesses, bars and eateries. Creativity is the heartbeat of this location which has become Liverpool’s digital hub. Home to the famous Baltic Market, which transformed the previous Cains brewery, this location has also seen the birth of UK & global events ‘Bongo’s Bingo’, along with Ghetto Golf and other themed bars such as Peaky Blinders, The Yellow Submarine & Home Alone bar
L3 Regeneration Zone
Peel Holdings, which is one of the UK’s largest real estate investment groups, is investing £5.5 billion across the L3 postcode. This includes regeneration of the Princes Dock and the stretch of riverside docks that lead from the city centre to Bootle, significantly improving the spectacular waterfront that Liverpool is famous for.

Anfield & Bramley Moore
Anfield football stadium, home to Liverpool FC has been significantly expanded following the clubs domestic and European successes in recent years. This directly correlates to more international toursits coming to the area on match days, meaning short term letting is a particularly lucrative investment strategy in the city.
Everton FC, who are also a Premier League team based in Liverpool, are in the process of constructing and moving to a brand new stadium on Bramley Moore Dock. It is one of the first football stadiums to be innovatively located on water!
