The Market
Inside the Liverpool market.
Liverpool is a cash-flow investor's city. It consistently posts some of the highest rental yields in the UK on some of the lowest entry prices, backed by major regeneration around the Baltic Triangle and the waterfront, plus large student and professional populations. Areas ringing the centre — Anfield, Kensington, Wavertree — hold plentiful older terraced housing that suits a refurbishment and a strong rental exit.
The affordability means capital employed per deal is low, which is part of why Liverpool remains one of the most popular UK cities for buy-to-let and refurb-to-rent investors.

Liverpool and the surrounding area.
We also source across the wider area — Birkenhead, Bootle, Wallasey, St Helens and Widnes — and match to whatever you tell us when you register.
Liverpool
The commercial mechanics
We would rather show a buyer why a deal is tight than talk them into it. Repeat buyers are worth more than one completed sale.
Liverpool
The process, step by step
Deals move at the pace of motivated sellers, which is quicker than the portals. Registered criteria are what make that speed usable.
Liverpool
Who gets the most from it
It works for owners who are some distance away, because nothing about it requires them to be nearby.
Liverpool
The paperwork that has to be right
Insurance written for standard residential letting usually will not cover the intended use. It is worth checking before rather than discovering after.
Liverpool
What we won't do
We do not quote a figure before somebody has looked at the property. A number produced from a postcode is a marketing device, not an appraisal.

Getting started
There is no obligation at any stage before signature, and that is said plainly rather than buried.
Your Questions
Liverpool sourcing, explained.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
How is your sourcing different?
The stock comes from our own seller pipeline rather than from the portals, and we are honest about condition. A deal that only works if nothing goes wrong is not a deal.
Do you work with limited companies?
Yes, and most investors buy that way. How you hold it is a question for your accountant, not for us.
What is the minimum budget?
It varies with the area. Tell us the band you are working in and we will tell you honestly whether we see stock in it.
How do I hear about deals?
By registering your criteria. Matching stock goes to the list before it goes anywhere else.
