Hello everyone. Today we are looking at Central Park by Nexus Residential. The scheme holds 174 homes on a former industrial site in Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle and was completed in March 2026. The remaining apartments are finished, furnished and vacant, so rental income starts without waiting out a build programme.

Location and transport
The Baltic Triangle sits immediately south of Liverpool city centre. Over the past decade its abandoned warehouses and workshops have turned into bars, coffee shops, studios and creative sector offices, which makes it the fastest changing part of the city. The Albert Dock and the business district are within walking distance, and the area lies between Liverpool Central and Brunswick stations. This is also where visitors to the city concentrate, which is why short lets here earn markedly more than long lets.
What the building has
There is a five star hotel style reception and concierge, a roof terrace, residents’ gardens, an outdoor gym, cycle storage and underground parking. Solar panels, an air source heat pump, heat recovery, LED lighting and electric vehicle charging points hold the building’s energy costs down, and because utilities stay with the owner in a short let, that line feeds straight into the return.
Tenant profile
There are two separate sources of demand. For long lets, young professionals working in the Baltic Triangle’s creative sector offices and in the city centre. For short lets, visitors coming for matches, concerts and city breaks. The apartments being handed over furnished, and the concierge on site, make the second of those easier to run.
The return: where the 8.1% comes from
The net rental return the selling agent quotes is 8.1% on short lets. The whole figure rests on a single apartment, so it is worth reading line by line: a one bedroom apartment at the £224,950 list price, assuming £143 a night at 65% occupancy.
| Item | Annual amount |
|---|---|
| Gross short let income | £33,927 |
| Service charge (£2.75 per sq ft) | −£1,240 |
| Platform fee (14%) | −£4,750 |
| Management fee (8% plus VAT) | −£3,257 |
| Council tax (Band C) | −£2,264 |
| Faturalar | −£1,800 |
| Temizlik | −£2,373 |
| Net gelir | £18,244 (£1,520 a month) |
£18,244 is 8.1% of the £224,950 list price. It is a projection, not a guarantee. Nightly rate and occupancy both move with the season, and when either falls the gross income falls with it while the service charge, council tax and utilities stay where they are, so the net return gives way faster than occupancy does. Let the apartment long term and the figure is markedly lower, but the running burden and the void risk fall too. For the tax on rental income, see How much tax is paid on rental income in the UK page.
What the cash purchase requirement means
The remaining apartments are open to cash buyers only. Because the scheme is finished there are no construction stage payments: £5,000 to reserve, 10% on exchange, and the whole balance on completion, and that last payment is not funded by a mortgage. Two things follow. First, the entire budget has to be set aside up front, and because you cannot use leverage your return on equity is worked out differently from a mortgaged purchase. Second, in exchange for that condition the developer is releasing the remaining apartments below list price and including a furniture pack worth at least £5,000; the discount is confirmed apartment by apartment, which means the return above is calculated without it.
Total cost
On top of the apartment price come stamp duty, legal fees, the land registry fee and, for a buyer living abroad, additional verification fees. You can work out your own scenario in the capital.works purchase cost calculator.
Risks and what to watch for
The most important point here is that the return depends on short letting. Short letting is a different business from long letting: occupancy is seasonal, running costs are high, and the rules are set by the local authority. Have your solicitor confirm, before you make an offer, whether the building’s management scheme and the lease allow nightly letting, and what licensing and planning requirements the council currently applies. The second point is that the calculation above rests on one apartment and one season; the capital growth rate used in five year total return illustrations is a third party forecast and is not guaranteed to happen. The third point is that a furnished, vacant apartment earns nothing until a tenant is found, so write the chance of empty months after completion into your budget.

Where do prices at Central Park start? A one bedroom apartment of 42 m² starts at £224,950 and a two bedroom apartment of 67 m² at £349,950. These are list prices; the remaining apartments carry a discount confirmed apartment by apartment.
Can I use a mortgage at Central Park? No. The remaining apartments are open to cash buyers only, and the completion balance cannot be funded by a mortgage.
How much is the service charge? £2.75 per sq ft. On a 451 sq ft one bedroom apartment that comes to about £1,240 a year. There is no ground rent.
Is the 8.1% return guaranteed? No. It is the selling agent’s short let projection and assumes £143 a night at 65% occupancy. On a long let the return is lower.
We can work out together which scheme fits your goal, based on your budget, your intended use and your exit plan.
