Property development
in Merseyside.
Merseyside's development market is anchored by Liverpool's ongoing urban renaissance - from the Baltic Triangle creative quarter to the £5.5 billion Liverpool Waters scheme. The city's strong cultural identity, two universities, and growing tech sector support a diversified residential market. Wirral and Sefton offer suburban and coastal development opportunities at lower price points than the city centre.
The Merseyside property market recorded 8,477 residential transactions over the past 12 months, with a county-wide median sale price of £163,875 - £121k below the UK average. Prices have shown growth, with a year-on-year change of +2.7% across the county's 6 principal towns.
New-build completions totalled 93 over the same period, representing 1.1% of total transactions. Development activity is moderate, suggesting potential for increased supply to meet demand.
