Sir Thomas L I V E R P O O L

Why invest in Liverpool?

Liverpool is consistently named as one of the best places to invest, and upon further investigation it is not hard to see why. Over the past decade or so, some £5 billion worth of investment has been made to transform the centre of Liverpool. Liverpool boasts a booming economy, with Merseyside experiencing the fastest economic growth in the country, surpassing that of both London and nearby Manchester in 2015.

Since being crowned the European Capital of Culture in 2008, the tourism industry in Liverpool has gone from strength to strength.

The north-west city welcomed over 56m tourists in 2015, and over 5m of those were staying guests. Being home to two football teams, an airport, an expanding ferry terminal and numerous iconic attractions, the need for accommodation is growing.

Business in Liverpool is also booming, and the city is home to the largest proportion of fast-growing firms than anywhere else in the UK. According to the Enterprise Research Centre, Liverpool is now producing more successful new businesses than London. The number of fast growing firms in Liverpool increased by 56% between 2009 and 2015, and the Merseyside region now has more businesses of this kind than any other in the UK. People who start up these businesses tend to be young graduates, who can set up a business for less than what it would cost in somewhere like London, in terms of rent and other expenses. Graduates also tend to stay on after university, attracted by the affordable living costs and excellent job prospects, adding to the need for property beyond student accommodation.

Growth TourismJob Creation

Liverpool is home to a cruise terminal and the Liverpool John Lennon Airport. With the return of the Liverpool – North Wales cruise this summer it is unsurprising that the city needs to accommodate a considerable number of overnight guests. The city has a booming tourism industry and welcomes around 54m day visitors annually, with the number of staying visitors amounting to 4.8m. With those figures in mind, it is worth noting that these guests will be looking for well-located, modern rooms.

Sir Thomas House is perfectly suited to overnight guests as it enjoys a central location close to the city’s nightlife, shopping district and transport links; allowing visitors to enjoy the city and continue their onward journey with ease. It is also appealing to those going out in the city on a hen / stag party, due to its proximity to Liverpool’s bars and clubs. In short visitors will always demand rooms in Sir Thomas due to its superior location. Similar hotels close by include the Signature Living Hotel, which always receives positive feedback from guests with regards to its location.

Liverpool Tourism Industry

The rising popularityof serviced apartments

With the weakening of the pound, the rise in British people opting for “staycations”, and the ever-changing preferences of the types of accommodation that tourists are opting for, serviced apartments are proving themselves to be very worthwhile investments.

Not only is there an increased demand for serviced apartments from domestic visitors, but also from overseas guests. In 2015 over 36 million people came to the UK for a holiday, a 50% increase over the previous 12 years.

The increasing popularity of Airbnb has demonstrated one thing – that people are looking for different accommodation options. The needs of travellers are changing, and some require the flexibility that serviced accommodation can afford them. In other cases, it is simply that often hotel rooms can be wildly expensive, and therefore more budget-friendly alternatives are considered if the room is just being used to sleep in. Proving their popularity, serviced apartment occupancy rates in London far surpass hotel room occupancy rates, currently standing at 90%.

It has been predicted that between the end of 2016 – the end of 2017, the serviced apartment sector will double in size in the UK, making it the fastest growing in hospitality.

The Location – L1Sir Thomas House is situated in the L1 postcode in Liverpool. In a recent report, the L1 postcode came out top as the most desirable place to invest in property. According to Which? property prices in L1 were up by 41% in 2015 compared to the previous three years, yet the average home still only costs around £120,000.

Sir Thomas House sits just a ten-minute walk from Liverpool Lime Street, and a five-minute walk from Liverpool One shopping centre. The benefits of living so centrally means that a plethora of bars, restaurants and entertainment venues are right on the doorstep, perfect for visitors wishing to experience all what Liverpool has to offer.

Sir Thomas – The Building

We are presenting a unique opportunity to invest in a period conversion building in the heart of Liverpool’s L1 post code. Sir Thomas is a grand period conversion located right in the heart of Liverpool.
