Liverpool and Manchester are two of the great football cities of the world, and the grounds shape the neighbourhoods around them. For landlords, matchdays bring both demand and a few practical considerations.
Liverpool: Anfield and the waterfront
Anfield remains the home of Liverpool Football Club and the focus of continuing investment in the surrounding area. Across the city, Everton left Goodison Park at the end of the 2024 to 2025 season and moved to their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock on the northern waterfront, now named the Hill Dickinson Stadium. The move has brought new attention to the north docks and the neighbourhoods around them.
Manchester: Old Trafford and the Etihad
Old Trafford, home of Manchester United, sits in Trafford, close to Salford Quays and MediaCityUK, where apartment living has grown strongly. Manchester City's Etihad Stadium is in east Manchester, part of the wider Etihad Campus, within easy reach of Ancoats and New Islington.
What landlords should know
- Many streets near the grounds have matchday parking restrictions. Make sure tenants know how they work and whether permits are available.
- Busy matchdays mean more footfall and litter. Well maintained bin stores and secure entrances make a real difference to how a building feels.
- Homes near the grounds often appeal to professionals who want to be close to the city as well as the football. Good presentation matters.
Whether your property is a terrace near Anfield or an apartment at Salford Quays, we can let and manage it properly, or pay you a guaranteed rent every month.
