City offers firms great potentialD

URING times ofrecession, dipping atoe into the com-mercial or residentialproperty market

might feel a risky move for you oryour business.

For those interested in buying orrenting property in Liverpool, theconcerns are understandable, but theadvantages of having a base in oraround the city are obvious.

For businesses, the best way toalleviate such worries about navig-ating the commercial property is toconsult a specialist in the industry, aproperty professional.

With Liverpool’s lettings marketbooming, it’s no surprise that Mer-seyside has an abundance of lettingagents and specialist property man-agement companies to aid yoursearch for business premises.

Similarly, if you have a commer-cial or residential property you’rekeen to find a tenant for, or you needhelp maintaining a property port-folio, you’ll find a wealth of expertisein the city and beyond to call upon.

Business owners are increasinglyfinding it makes sense to base them-selves in Liverpool.

With favourable prices for com-mercial lets, space is snapped uppretty quickly in the centre but thereis quite a range to choose from,whether in the central business dis-trict or beyond.

The benefits of the city are many,with excellent transport links and anaccessible workforce two of the mostimportant.

Liverpool is well served by nearbymotorway links with other major cit-ies, with Manchester under an houraway. It has its own international air-port and much container trade stillcomes through the docks.

The wider communities of GreaterMerseyside, Wirral and Lancashireoffer a large customer base and apotential workforce right on thedoorstep.

There is no shortage of companiesrealising the advantages of doingbusiness from Merseyside. Just havea look at the changes in Liverpool’sfamous waterfront skyline over thepast 10 years and you’ll get some ideaof the dramatic shifts that have takenplace in the business and retail land-scape of the city.

View the city from across the Mer-sey and you can pick out prestigioushigh-rise properties and officeblocks, mingling with retail and leis-ure facilities to rival any UK city.

Attractive towers stand alongsidethe listed buildings and architecturalwonders of the city’s past as Liver-pool looks to enter a resurgentperiod in which it hopes to match theeconomic successes of its past.

The rental market for residentialproperties has similarly expanded inrecent years.

This is unsurprising, as difficultyin securing mortgage finance andhigh deposits required to climb theproperty ladder has caused morepeople to rent rather than buy.

One offshoot of this is that it’s agood time to be a landlord, but any-one who has tried it will know

there’s more to the role than justbuying a property, finding the ten-ants and then sitting back andwatching the cash roll in.

Landlords need to be aware of allthe relevant health and safety reg-ulations, while being well versed inthe legal ramifications of rentingproperty. Then there’s considerationsaround furnishing the property, car-rying out repairs, ensuring depositsare handled correctly and resolvingany tenant issues.

Being a landlord is a demandingand time-consuming role, but you

can take the heavy lifting out of thejob by utilising the expertise of aprofessional lettings agent or prop-erty management company.

Such a route gives you access to awealth of expertise in both the res-idential and commercial rental mar-kets.

Letting agents and property man-agement firms can advise you on allaspects of the lettings market, andoffer services to take the stress out ofrenting your property portfolio.

You can choose how much youwant the agent to do, whether it is

simply locating tenants to let prop-erties, right through to managing allaspects of the property rental andtenancy on your behalf.

Whether you are a business look-ing to rent prime commercial officespace in the city, or you want some-one to manage the property portfolioyou own, Merseyside’s property man-agement and letting agents are ableto offer expert advice and in-depthknowledge of the local marketplace.

It could pay, either individually orfor your business as a whole, to makeuse of the services they provide.
