Liverpool has been branded a UK property "hotspot" in new research, with house prices growing by 14%.
The figure, included in Liverpool: A Northern Powerhouse, Dockside Regeneration Property Report, found the city is outperforming the likes of Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham and London.
The price of apartments is also 60% cheaper per sq ft than in the capital; a budget of £1.5m would get one apartment in central London compared with five or six in Liverpool.
