LIVERPOOL HOUSING The average price of a house in Liverpool is £135,210 and the average across the city region is £148,680, according to the Centre for Cities. Various figured can be found from a number of sources but those values seem to be the best average. Average rent in the city is £707 PCM. The market in Liverpool is growing in strength and will continue to become more prosperous as the city does. In addition, the very strong student market and high rates of student retention following graduation ensure a healthy churn of renters in the city. Liverpool is particularly strong when it comes to student accommodation. The quality of the accommodation is high and there is a good quantity of it, so much in fact that local news articles have begun to appear saying that there may even be an excess. EMPLOYMENT The employment rate in the city stands at 60.5%, which is not as high as it could be, however the upcoming massive investments planned for the city should help to change this. The ‘Liverpool Waters’ project, along with the ‘Wirral Waters’ project on the opposite bank of the Mersey, should provide thousands of local people with employment. The city region has a slightly higher overall employment rate of 66.4% but this also leaves room for improvement compared to other metropolitan areas surrounding Manchester, Sheffield and Leeds. The average wage per week stands at £482.10 in the city and £465.00 in the wider region. This compares well with Sheffield, Leeds and Manchester. INFRASTRUCTURE • National rail – Liverpool is linked to the rest of the country via train. It takes two hours to get to London, one hour to reach Manchester, just under two hours to reach Sheffield, around one and a half hours to reach Leeds and three hours to reach Newcastle. • Liverpool John Lennon Airport – This is an international airport which connects Liverpool to the world. Liverpool is also within close reach of Manchester Airport, another international hub. In addition, the following are also either confirmed or possible at some point in the future: • HS2 – Liverpool will not benefit directly from the first phase of HS2 as that is scheduled to terminate in Manchester. However the city will benefit indirectly as the North West as a whole is opened up and becomes even more of a major player than it already is. Plans are being formed to hook Liverpool up to the line as part of a second phase. Liverpool is a city in the North West and the heart of the Liverpool/Birkenhead metropolitan borough which directly abuts Greater Manchester on one side and the Irish Sea on the other. The city itself is the sixth most populous in the UK. • Liverpool Lime Street – Plans for a £35m regeneration of the station and the area around it are expected to get the official go ahead soon. • Transport for the North – As part of the ‘Northern Powerhouse’, Liverpool will benefit from improved transport across the region. The current links between the core Northern cities are substandard and the city will benefit from the proposed trans-Pennines links, the speculative idea to link the North East to the rest of the country more substantially than it currently is and especially by connecting the Western and Eastern ports. • Atlantic Gateway – £50bn invested in 50 developments over the next 50 years in order to re-establish Liverpool as the UK’s premier shipping destination. The most imminent projects are the new deepwater port, Liverpool2, and the Liverpool Waters’ programme. The new cruise liner port and passport control etc planned will open up another avenue for international tourists to visit Liverpool. It is envisaged that the ‘Liverpool Waters’ development will create 17,000 jobs and 21 million square feet of commercial and residential space including 23,000 apartments and four hotels.
