From its stunning World Heritage waterfront to its vibrant culture, stylish shops and restaurants, Liverpool is a city with a unique spirit and personality.
Liverpool is experiencing a rapid and dramatic renaissance. In recent years its economy has grown faster than any other UK city, and in 2008 it became European Capital of Culture.
It’s like a thousand different cities but nowhere else on earth
Liverpool’s downtown residential population has grown tenfold in 15 years as more and more people have been attracted by the breadth of its offer and the warmth of its welcome.
Once again, Liverpool has been voted one of the five best places to visit in the UK. But, better still, why not buy your own property here and be part of Liverpool’s renaissance?
It’s a city rich in history, home to Europe’s oldest Chinatown and boasting more listed and historic buildings than anywhere outside London.

Today Liverpool is about thriving universities, cutting-edge galleries and theatres, ground-breaking creative businesses, award-winning restaurants and trail blazing modern architecture.
