Positives • Market has performed really strongly over the last quarter with sales ahead by around 40% in comparison to the same quarter in 2020. • The market has been helped in no uncertain terms by the announcement in the March budget to extend the stamp duty deadline until end of July (for properties up to £500k) and end of September (for properties up to £250k). • Continued low interest rates, and the likelihood that this will continue indefinitely, is making property purchases in the city extremely affordable. • Prices in the suburbs have boomed as many buyers have looked to purchase properties away from the town/city centres. This has created a larger gap in pricing between the city and the suburbs creating even better value for buyers. • The challenges of the market over the coming months/years will almost certainly reduce the pipeline of new developments which in turn should take some of the pressure off new supply. Negatives • The challenges in the rental market are resulting in an increase in supply of property for sale which, if not matched by an increase in buyers, may ultimately cause prices to fall. • The “carnage” in the short term/Airbnb and serviced apartment sector is continuing to encourage some landlords/investors/operators to sell their apartments/schemes, again potentially increasing the supply in the city. This may be reversed as we slowly exit lockdown although there is no sign of this just yet. • The market continues to suffer from the fall out of the Grenfell Tower/cladding issues with many apartment blocks currently unsaleable/unmortgageable until the cladding is renewed. EWS1 forms have become extremely difficult to obtain. (See Headline Blog) • Some buyers are deferring a potential purchase until they understand the effect of Coivd- 19 on the market in terms of pricing, supply, and sustainability of the city. • The effects of Covid-19 on the fabric of the city could be devastating, especially if further lockdowns are required/lockdowns last longer than anticipated. The city has prospered on its reputation as a vibrant, exciting, and friendly place to live, something which could be under threat should the ongoing effects of Covid-19 be more severe than we currently anticipate. This may become more evident over the coming months as we exit lockdown, and we see how business confidence will affect future/ongoing investment in the likes of restaurants, bars, clubs and other retail/leisure operations.

  • East Wirral(Mersey Estuary)
    River Mersey near to Eastham Country Park. East Wirral (Mersey Estuary) The East Wirral route takes you from the start of the Manchester Ship Canal on the banks of the River Mersey, into the woodlands of Eastham Country Park and through the area of industrial heritage of the east coast to Seacombe. Along the route you will pass near to the historic village of Port Sunlight, through the Victorian suburb of Rock Park, past Cammell Lairds Shipyard, and along to Woodside where you can see the world’s first rail tram system. 60 From Woodside Ferry Terminal and the U-boat Story you will pass the docks, the Twelve Quays Irish Ferry Terminal and on towards Seacombe, where you will find Spaceport and the best views of the Liverpool Waterfront World Heritage Site. The River Mersey was once renowned as a polluted river but now it’s not unusual to see seals, porpoise and dolphin in the Mersey. Charter fishing boats regularly pass from the Mersey to Liverpool Bay which has become one of the best inshore cod fishing grounds in north west Europe. 61 East Wirral (Mersey Estuary) Eastham Country Park 1 Eastham Country Park Eastham Country Park holds immense value and is a long- standing, major leisure and nature conservation area. It covers some 43 hectares and it is the last remaining substantial area of undeveloped land with public access on the Wirral bank of the River Mersey between Birkenhead and Ellesmere Port. Its location gives it particular importance as a local amenity, wildlife and educational resource. The site includes approximately 26 hectares of mature mixed deciduous woodland, 8 hectares of amenity grassland, 3 hectares of new plantation woodland and 3 hectares of natural grassland and scrub.

  • Liverpool City Region Combined Authority
    FINAL DRAFT (NOVEMBER 2017) Liverpool City Region Combined Authority Rights of Way Improvement Plan 2018-2028 1 FINAL DRAFT (NOVEMBER 2017) Foreword by the Liverpool City Region Mayor Public rights of way are both a significant part of our heritage and a major recreational resource. They enable people to get away from roads used mainly by motor vehicles and enjoy the beauty and tranquillity of the countryside within a large area of the city region, to which they would not otherwise have access. In many areas, public rights of way help to boost tourism and contribute to rural economies. Public rights of way can also provide a convenient means of travelling, particularly for short journeys, in both rural and urban areas. They are important in the daily lives of many people who use them for fresh air and exercise on bicycle, foot or horse, to walk their dog, to improve their fitness, or to visit local shops and other facilities. I am therefore proud to present the first Liverpool City Region Public Rights of Way Improvement Plan which sets out a vision of how the Rights of Way Network can make a positive contribution to supporting the economic, social and cultural resurgence and ambition of the City Region by improving transport links and opening up a choice of travel to Liverpool City Region visitors and residents. It is therefore crucial to make sure that public rights of way continue and contribute to an environment that is accessible, efficient, safe and reliable and will provide a step change towards further sustainable growth.
