Liverpool-based property investment group celebrates record £200m boost to the region

In just four years, Liverpool-based Advantage Investment has already established itself with two offices and 18 dedicated staff, which also operates in Marbella, and with an upcoming Dubai office in its considerable sights.

Founders of Advantage Investment Adam Wood and his business partner, Tom Eastaway, lead a team which is currently celebrating bringing in over £200 million of property investment to the city, adding to Liverpool city region’s flourishing property landscape.

Advantage Investment’s core enterprise has allowed investors to access a range of luxury properties in highly desirable locations including the sold-out Vaux development in Naylor Street, which features 62 apartments, and is due for completion Q3 2025.

Other notable projects include Sovereign Point in Oriel Street, close to the Albert Docks World Heritage Site, which is a combination of studio, one bedroom and two bedroom apartments as well as the hugely affordable Camden House site, a studio-based development with students in mind.

These make up just part of Advantage Investment’s portfolio, which are helping to address critical demand and supply challenges across the city.

Liverpool city region has continued to be an attractive prospect for inbound property investment. Its domestic property values have continued to grow considerably during 2023, by up to 14%, after a bumper period up until 2022, outstripping Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham and London, with that figure set to rise to 20% by 2026.

This reflects the overall economic growth of the region as a whole, which has been boosted by continued resurgence in hospitality and leisure, as well as £5.5 billion investment to transform the city’s iconic docks. A growing population coupled with a still-affordable housing market has made 2023 the perfect time to attract investment.

Adam Wood, Managing Director of Advantage Investment explains: “Liverpool and its city region has provided investors with the type of socio-economic conditions that inspire confidence as well as growth possibilities. Here at Advantage Investment we believe its potential is unlimited.

As the area becomes an even more attractive place to live, with burgeoning creative and technology sectors, a large student population, as well as a bustling waterfront economy, we believe that we will be able to continue on our own growth path with our first-rate developments.

We are proud of bringing in over £200 million in property sales to Liverpool and we have plans in place to continue on an upward path in 2024 and beyond. With yields of up to 8-10% and rising, we will endeavour to provide our clients with the best available portfolios to choose from.

Our investors have been seriously impressed with everything we have been able to offer them, and with a mixture of clients from the UK, the Middle East and the Far East, we are pleased to have been able to attract a truly international client list. Outside of the city region we continue to offer investors opportunities both domestically and outside of the UK, too.

As a team, we are also delighted to have been noted in some prestigious awards ceremonies this year, which always give us a chance to reflect not just one our successes and achievements but also a chance to connect with each other and other colleagues in this exciting industry. Two recent wins at the International Property Awards in London have provided the team with real recognition for their endeavours.

We pride ourselves on offering a 360-degree service, including dedicated accountants providing a comprehensive approach to guide investors throughout their entire journey with us; from acquisition to management, ensuring a seamless and profitable experience by a highly-skilled, committed and tight-knit team.

Liverpool remains very much at the core of our operations and we are delighted that it continues to provide such a unique and profitable opportunity for investors. Watching the city continue to grow, and thrive in every way, is a huge source of pride and to know that we have contributed to its economic landscape drives us to achieve further success in the years to come. 2023 alone has been a very special year for Liverpool, and at Advantage Investment we also look forward to being a part of its future prosperity.”
