Property Investment in St Helens

One of the biggest factors in determining an ideal investment property is the location. St Helens is perfectly located allowing easy commutes to two of the UK’s largest cities, Liverpool and Manchester. The town is one of the most centrally located towns in East Merseyside with outstanding transport links and access to education making the area attractive to students, young professionals, and investors alike.

Why invest in St Helens?

Once known as the gateway to the world, the northwest has excellent roots in a variety of industries – namely the logistics and manufacturing industries. St Helens is home to more than 300 manufacturing businesses that employ upwards of 6,000 people making the town an attractive place to set up for businesses from sole traders and entrepreneurs to large multi-nationals such as NGF and Nichols Foods who are proud to the call the town home.

St Helens is seeing tremendous economic growth and investment with the East Merseyside area experiencing a 40% increase in Gross Value Added (GVA) over the last 10 years. This growth has created the potential for 8,000 new homes to be built by 2033, highlighting the demand for housing as people flock to the area known as “The Northern Powerhouse”.

St Helens also boasts a healthy level of redevelopment with a proposed £300 million scheme to rejuvenate the town centre in order further attract people to this illustrious northern town. The scheme aims to create distinctive quarters from shopping and heritage to education and growth generating attracting areas for visitors, no matter their goals. The key developments will include enhanced shopping and leisure areas further improving the area’s economy.

St Helens’ Property Market

Demand for property in St Helens has grown in the last decade and is continuing to grow going forward with the potential for more than 8,500 new homes to be built by 2033. In addition to the growth of property demand, prices and rentals are also seeing growth in the area.

St Helens House Prices

According to data from Zoopla, the average price of property in St Helens currently sits at almost £165,000, an increase of 3.24% in the last 12 months or 23.47% in the last 5 years.

The demand for property in the area is also likely to impact the price of property which will be magnified by ideal positioning of the town between 2 of the UK’s major cities. The positioning of the town and the increasing trend of commuting to work from outside of the city is likely to continue to strain demand in the area and cause prices to rise at increased rates.

St Helens is seeing a large amount of investment, from the aforementioned town centre regeneration to businesses moving into the area generating jobs. One such example is the introduction of plans for a new 323,000 square foot Amazon sorting facility in the town which is set to create more than 250 new jobs in the town.

The goal of the massive town centre redevelopment is to transition into the modern age of shopping through new central apartments and the introduction of new shops, restaurants, and entertainment facilities. In order to achieve this goal, the town centre will be split into four distinct quarters; the Education Quarter, the Shopping Quarter, the Civic and Heritage Quarter, and the Growth Quarter.
