Football Economy! TA: The rental market around Anfield is very hot, and the rent is very high

September 23, TA reported that the rental market around Liverpool's Anfield Stadium is very hot, especially on match days.

TA said that the short-term rental market, driven by football tourism, is reshaping this traditional working-class community with unprecedented depth and breadth. Even in a normal period without games, there are 31 properties to choose from in a small block on the northwest side of the stadium alone.

On the other street opposite the stadium, this phenomenon is even more extreme. As many as 8 of the 32 houses are listed for rent online, which means 25% of the housing on the entire street has been transformed into short-term rentals.

The huge commercial interests are the main driving force behind this craze. Rents here are amazingly high, for example, a 10-bedroom townhouse on Anfield Road, even on a regular Monday night without competition, can be as high as £938 a night.
