Liverpool continues to establish itself as a multifaceted economy and a centre of culture in the UK. The city s economy is booming as a result of the diversification of its commercial strength and with the help of the Northern Powerhouse initiative. Liverpool is forecast to see GVA growth of 2.4% per annum until 2023, outpacing the UK average of 1.9%.

The city s diverse and thriving economy, as well as its growing student population, has encouraged significant migration to Liverpool and the city s fringe areas. Liverpool s population growth is forecast to exceed that of the broader North West region, with a growth rate of 6.3% between 2016-2026.

The Liverpool property market continues to thrive with relatively low capital values and strong yielding investment opportunities. The housing market is benefiting from the continued boom in investment, with house prices expected to grow by 12% by 2023.

Driven by the city s population growth, the city s rental market is also improving. A direct reflection of the growing number of young professionals and students based in the city, Liverpool s rental prices are expected to grow by 15% to 2023.
