The Development

Whether in the city for a relaxing break, business trip or just enjoying some quality time with friends or family, Nineteen Keel Wharf is the perfect place to stay.

Rising demand for space and flexibility

Nineteen Keel Wharf is a collection of 46 two bedroom apartments which are currently undergoing an extensive programme of refurbishments. Facilities will include a 24-hour reception with secure luggage storage, an on-site cafe for residents and parking.

Serviced accommodation is one of the fastest growing sectors within the hospitality industry. Demand is driven by the desire for a home from home experience in a more spacious environment, similar to the successful Airbnb model.

The investment potential for savvy investors in this sector is undeniable. The returns generated from a serviced apartment let on a short term basis far outweigh those of a traditional buy-to-let purchase in the same location. Earnings average between 15%-20%, based on 60% occupancy levels and investors are expected to double their returns in comparison to a standard traditional long term let.

The two key factors for a successful short term rental property are simple - great location coupled with professional management. A management company will promote the property via the appropriate marketing channels to achieve maximum occupancy and implement the highest standards of maintenance to ensure that guests enjoy their stay, leave favourable reviews and return again in the future.

“Many of today's travellers want to stay somewhere where they tend to have more space and greater independence than in traditional hotels”

Eva ChanVice President of JLL Hotels and Hospitality

The Accommodation

Once purchased, the apartments retain a residential title which allows them to be used for short term lettings. Owners have the flexibility to use the property themselves or let it out. Specialist short term letting services are available from SkyLet™. Alternatively, owners have the option to engage a management company of their choice.

Should an owner decide to sell, these apartments are likely to be a sought after asset due to the excellent ROI’s and ever-increasing demand for serviced accommodation.

The Location

Cultural hotspot with a fast-growing economy

Liverpool’s rich culture and heritage make the city a booming tourist destination. The waterfront area plays a key part in the city’s cultural offering with its iconic docks, the impressive Royal Liver Building and The M&S Bank Arena which hosts live music, exhibitions and events. Liverpool is a former European Capital of Culture, further highlighting the vast array of attractions which draw visitors to this exciting city. For sports fans, there are two historic football clubs; Liverpool and Everton which attract large numbers of fans every year. And let’s not forget The Cavern Club, the spiritual home of The Beatles!

Liverpool’s docks are currently at the centre of a £5 billion, 20-hectare regeneration project being undertaken by the Peel Group, who are the masterminds behind the highly successful Media City development at Salford Quays in Manchester. This extensive transformation of the area will encompass five new neighbourhoods, hotels and a new football stadium at Bramley Moore Dock for Everton FC. In addition, a new cruise terminal at Princes Dock will welcome the world’s biggest cruise ships, allowing the city to further capitalise on increased footfall from the current 100,000 cruise passengers who visit each year.
