Liverpool Property Market
The price of an apartment in the centre of town soared by a whopping 75 per cent between 2000 and 2006 but last year things calmed down (prices dipped by two per cent). The investment market for one and two bed units remains strong and investors are still a force to be reckoned with.
As Liverpool City Centre reinvents itself, and the schemes currently under construction reach completion, living in this part of town is bound to become even more attractive and that can only be positive for the housing market.
About 70 per cent of houses in Liverpool are terraced or semi-detached properties, with an abundance of Victorian, Georgian and Edwardian style terraces on and surrounding Upper Parliament Street.
