Pumpfields Launch Pricing, 999 Year Lease, Full 20% Exchange Deposit Protected
One hundred and fifty eight homes across nine storeys in Pumpfields, a 75 acre regeneration zone on the northern edge of Liverpool city centre. Eighteen apartments have been released at launch pricing from £333 per square foot, on a 999 year lease with a peppercorn ground rent and the full 20% exchange deposit protected.
Vauxhall Residences is a 158 home building on Vauxhall Road, at the southern edge of Pumpfields, a 75 acre regeneration zone on the northern side of Liverpool city centre. Eighteen apartments across the ground, first and second floors have been released at launch pricing from £333 per square foot, which is the lowest the building will be offered at.
At 158 homes this is a smaller building than most of what Liverpool has delivered in recent years, and that matters on the day it completes. Fewer identical apartments come to the rental market on the same street at the same time. Short letting is not permitted anywhere in the building either, so the stock stays in the long term rental market rather than drifting into nightly lets.
The deposit structure is the part worth reading twice. The full 20% payable on exchange is covered, with 10% fully insured and the other 10% held under a deposit bond. That is unusual on an off plan purchase and it changes the risk of committing money two years ahead of completion. Development funding is in place with Aldermore, and the freehold is owned outright by the seller rather than held under option.
Residents get a private gym, a twelve hour concierge with a parcel room, a residents lounge and a planted roof garden with city and waterfront views. One ground floor commercial unit is expected to become a cafe, though it is not yet let. Kitchens are Nobilia with Bosch appliances, bathrooms are Porcelanosa tiled, and heating is electric with an air source heat pump serving hot water, so there is no gas in the building.
Moorfields is 0.4 miles away and Lime Street 0.8 miles, an 18 minute walk, which puts Manchester Victoria 34 minutes away and London Euston just over two hours. Liverpool John Moores University is a 12 minute walk and Castle Street, the city's commercial district, is 15 minutes on foot.
The developer is Rosmara Development Group, named Emerging Property Developer of the Year at the 2025 YM Property Awards, which most recently delivered Richmond Row in Liverpool two months ahead of programme. The contractor is Newry Construction, trading since 2004 with more than £160m delivered across the North West, and the architect is Falconer Chester Hall. Structural warranty is ICW, underwritten by Accelerant and accepted by 97% of UK mortgage lenders.
On practicalities, reservation is £2,000 with exchange inside 28 days, 20% payable on exchange less the reservation fee, and the remaining 80% on completion. The service charge is estimated at £3.00 per square foot a year, roughly £113 a month on a one bed and £164 on a two bed. Parking is £20,000 a space, and there are only five spaces in the whole building. Start on site is Q4 2026 with completion estimated for Q4 2028.
Rent figures are developer projections rather than guarantees, and yields above are stated gross. We will send the net position on any plot, after the service charge and management, with the full price list.
