The national headlines are cautious right now. RICS's March 2026 survey shows new buyer enquiries at -26% nationally, and the Iran conflict is keeping mortgage rates higher for longer.

But here's what the same data shows for the North West: firmer price trends, while London sits at -40% and the South East at -24%.

This isn't just sentiment. The numbers behind the NW opportunity are specific:

- Average NW rental yields: 8% (regional baseline, not outlier postcodes)
- HMOs in the NW: 8–10% gross, with Manchester's M14 hitting 9–10%
- Preston: 10%+ YoY rental growth, driven by student demand and employment growth
- NW average asking rents: £1,224/month with 7.2% yields — among England's strongest
- Savills forecast: 27.6% cumulative NW price growth by 2028 (5.5% in 2026, 6.5% in 2027)
- National rental supply: still 33% below levels from a decade ago, despite a 9% YoY improvement

And in Greater Manchester specifically, Andy Burnham has just announced a £1bn GM Good Growth Fund at MIPIM 2026 backing a £10bn pipeline of projects. Manchester is also on track for 600,000 residents by 2026, with the fastest employment growth of any major UK city at 1.8% per year.

The investors I work with don't need national confidence to be high. They need the fundamentals to be strong.

In the North West right now, they are.

If you're considering deploying capital into NW property in 2026 and want to understand where the specific opportunities are feel free to drop me a message.

Last week, Liverpool City Region announced a £2bn investment fund at MIPIM the largest public investment vehicle the region has ever seen.

It's earmarked for 64,000 new homes, plus offices, labs, and industrial space. And it sits alongside the £5bn Central Station redevelopment already underway.

For context: this is the kind of infrastructure commitment that fundamentally reshapes where capital flows in a region.

We've been sourcing deals in Liverpool and across the North West for years, and the shift in investor confidence over the past 12 months has been remarkable. But announcements like this accelerate that trajectory significantly.

The areas that benefit most tend to be the residential corridors adjacent to regeneration zones not the headline postcodes, but the streets 10 minutes away where values haven't yet fully caught up.

That's where we focus. That's where the deals that genuinely stack on yield AND capital growth are sitting right now.

If you're watching the North West and wondering whether the timing is right I'd say the data is pointing pretty clearly.

What's your take on Liverpool's investment story right now?

Something I'm seeing on the ground in the North West right now that I think more investors should know about.

With the Renters' Rights Act abolishing Section 21 on 1 May 2026, a wave of landlords is quietly exiting the market — and that's creating some of the most motivated seller situations we've seen in years.

Landlords with single AST properties, squeezed by rising rates and spooked by losing no-fault eviction rights, are looking to sell. They want speed and discretion, not a chain.

For investors able to move quickly, that means:

- Off-market deals at genuine below-market value
- Properties already tenanted (immediate rental income)
- Sellers motivated enough to accept the right price fast

We're actively working with a number of these sellers right now across Manchester, Liverpool, and Lancashire.

If you're a property investor looking to add to your portfolio in the North West — the window right now is genuinely strong. And it won't stay open forever.

Are you seeing the same thing in your area, or is this a NW-specific pattern?

The North West just had one of its biggest weeks in a generation.

In the same week at MIPIM 2026:

🔵 Manchester announced the £1bn GM Good Growth Fund unlocking nearly 3,000 homes, 22,000 jobs, and 2 million sq ft of employment space across Greater Manchester.

🔴 Liverpool launched a £2bn Investment Fund targeting 64,000 homes, unlocking stalled sites, and attracting serious private capital into Liverpool City Region.

That's £3bn of combined public capital committed to the two cities in a single week.

For the investors I work with, here's why this matters at the deal level:

Public capital at this scale doesn't just fund the headline schemes it de-risks the surrounding market. It brings infrastructure, occupier confidence, and long-term price support to areas already delivering results. Greater Manchester is already running at +4.3% annual price growth against a national average of +1.4%. Liverpool's regeneration pipeline was already accelerating before this announcement.

Add the Spring Statement backdrop 6 interest rate cuts since the election, house prices forecast to grow 2.4–2.9% annually to 2030, no new property investment taxes — and the case for structured North West investment in 2026 is as clear as it has been in years.

At FAA Property, this is the market we've been building for. If you're an investor looking to understand how to position capital in Greater Manchester or Liverpool City Region with secured, structured returns I'd genuinely welcome a conversation.

The window before prices reflect these signals is closing.
