Our search begins in Liverpool where real estate investment properties are forecasted to see substantial returns over the next five years. As the European City of Culture in 2008, Liverpool has been undergoing regeneration over the past few years. Much work has gone in to revitalising the Duke Street area, resulting in a fashionable new shopping and arts district. Liverpool’s China Town has also seen serious development with many modern warehouse apartments. A thriving business centre with an international airport and an expanding University population, Liverpool has obvious benefits for rental income.

Leeds is another area under regeneration where real estate investment properties are expected to see significant price increases . Leeds is the UK’s second financial centre after London and has a large university population. Holbeck to the south of Leeds is the latest focus for regeneration where prices of attractive, traditional Victorian terraces are expected to appreciate dramatically over the next five years. Holbeck benefits from good transport links with a local train station and is walking distance from the city’s theatre district. Your Move is currently listing a five-bedroom terrace in the area for £149,995.
