Go ahead. Decent area, now area gentrified. 40 years ago, I would have said , NO. But now its an upcoming area. BUY.

Buying property investments in general is pretty bananas. Especially at the moment. I'd show you a graph of FTSE v Real Estate but the thumbnail function isn't complying.

Prescot is an absolute shithole right now, but it's on the cusp of major regeneration. They're building a £20m Shakespearean theatre which is due to be completed in 2022; they're also putting £14m into a new train and bus station. You can get a modern two-bed flat for less than £80k, which I reckon is a safe bet with considerable potential upside.

Property investing allows for leveraging. £20k in equities in ISA doesn't look as attractive when it's compared to being used as a deposit on a ~£100k house.

I've never known an ISA to need an emergency plumber or tenants kicking out. If you're leveraging that kind of investment then you need a good wash and putting in the cupboard because you're a mug.

I know lots of people who have moved from the South to the area because it is affordable. Lots of areas around Merseyside are very decent places to live.

We've got the best organised crime outside of London. Try Seascale instead.
