Why Liverpool is a leading UK investment market
Liverpool’s place on the River Mersey makes it a uniquely beautiful spot along England’s North West coast. The city’s waterfront, history and culture have been drawing people here for centuries.
However, there’s much more to Liverpool than just being a place to visit. It is also home to world-class universities, a strong economy, desirable employment opportunities, high-class retail and much more that makes it one of the most vibrant cities in the UK.
The city is undergoing a 21st-century transformation led by a range of major regeneration projects, which are changing the skyline and making Liverpool more in-demand than ever.
However, there are not enough homes for everyone who wants to be part of the city’s exciting future. Construction rates can’t keep up with demand, causing Liverpool to become a desirable property investment hotspot.
Liverpool's Economy
Liverpool is popular with businesses and home to an economy worth more than £18.4bn per year, according to Liverpool City Council data from 2025. The people of Liverpool also have above-average spending power, £40,392 per head compared to the national average of £35,847. That points to a vibrant, growing economy and city.
A big part of that is the large number of young professionals and students who live in the city. Liverpool’s population of young and working-age people is 5% higher than the national average. Furthermore, people in Liverpool tend to be highly skilled.
More than 64% of the city’s population is considered to have a good educational foundation, and there are almost 65,000 further education students in Liverpool, too. The high-level skills and experience those people bring supercharge businesses in the city and play a key role in Liverpool’s economic growth.
Liverpool's Regeneration
The regeneration and redevelopment in Liverpool never stops. The city is constantly evolving, and there is a range of major projects underway to turn Liverpool into a true 21st-century powerhouse. These cover all types of developments and regeneration areas, offering something for everyone and ensuring that Liverpool’s future is varied and positive.
A £10bn regeneration plan is in place across the city, known as the City Region Growth Plan. This is a 10-year plan to boost the regional economy, which is designed to create tens of thousands of jobs and add £10bn GVA each year.
Key investments include “the £550m Health Innovation Liverpool (HIL) development that will bring 2,200 jobs and deliver more than £1bn in economic benefits, and the 10-fold expansion of Daresbury’s cryo-plant to create a new National Cryogenics Facility to serve a global quantum computing cluster.”
