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).

Which?Pembroke Studios is located on Pembroke Place, an area fast becoming one of Liverpool’s most vibrant quarters, also known as the learning centre of Liverpool due to its close proximity to a number of Universities all within walking distance.
