4. Liverpool: A Student City
Liverpool is one of the most established
centres in the UK for higher education and
is home to a number of leading institutions
including The University of Liverpool,
Liverpool John Moores University,
Liverpool Hope University and The
Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts.
The combined student population
currently stands at 53,000 – almost 12% of
the city’s total population – with
students enrolled from over 100 countries
worldwide.
In addition to its reputation as a centre for
educational excellence, Liverpool is one of
the most desirable places in the world for
students to attend university.
Student Expectations
As the majority of university campuses are centrally located
living near them comes as a huge advantage.
Not only do students look for accommodation close to their
everyday place of study, but want something that is easily
accessible to amenities, shops, restaurants and nightlife that
Liverpool has to offer.
Students are now demanding more from their time at
University. Gone are the days of bunk beds and living in
dorms miles away from their place of study. Living near all
these amenities has now become a major key focus for
students looking for their home away from home.
Liverpool is one of the UK’s most popular student
destinations. The rich cultural and historical heritage and the
World Heritage Site is one of the reasons this city attracts
over 50,000 students and over 58,000,000 visitors annually.

On 11 March 2016, consumer organisation Which?
released new research on housing affordability.
Their goal was to identify where you can find houses
priced below the national average of £200,000, in
areas that are seeing big price growth.
Interestingly, Liverpool’s L1 area came top of the
league table.
It saw a 41% increase in average property price in
the last year, compared to the previous 3 years. In
L1, the average property price from December 2014
to November 2015 was £120,000, up from £85,000
in the period December 2011 to November 2014.
In other words: Liverpool offers investors the
opportunity to achieve faster returns, and at a lower
entry point than many popular, established areas
(particularly in the South).
