Paddington South, a £300m phase of the £1bn Knowledge Quarter, went to masterplan consultation in March 2026, and Liverpool Waters continues to extend the city centre north along the docks. Pumpfields and Limekilns are earlier stage, with schemes at planning rather than on site.

How much do I need to buy an investment property in Liverpool?
Our Liverpool listings currently start from £140,000. With a buy to let mortgage, lenders usually want at least 25% of the price as a deposit, plus stamp duty, legal fees and mortgage costs. Off plan purchases need a deposit at exchange, shown on each listing, with the balance at completion. Our buy to let calculator works out the total cash you need, including stamp duty.
Should I buy off plan or completed property in Liverpool?
Of our 6 Liverpool developments, 1 completed and 5 off plan. Completed apartments earn rent from completion and can be inspected before you buy. Off plan apartments fix today's price and need less cash during the build, but there is no rent until completion. Our off plan property guide explains the trade offs.
Can I buy property in Liverpool from overseas?
Yes. Many of our investors live in Hong Kong, Singapore and the UAE and buy without visiting, using a UK solicitor and lenders that specialise in overseas borrowers. Buyers who are not UK resident usually pay a 2% stamp duty surcharge on top of the additional property rates.
