Reliance House

Development Overview

Reliance House is a high-specification residential apartment conversion by RW Invest, a specialist in the UK buy-to-let investment sector, with a track record that includes completed projects like Parliament Square in the Baltic Triangle. Located at 82 Wood Street, Liverpool, L1 4DQ, within the vibrant Ropewalks district, the development re-purposes a former commercial building into luxury city-centre apartments. The building retains its handsome Edwardian-style Portland stone facade and neoclassical architecture, offering a blend of historic grandeur and contemporary city living. The scheme consists primarily of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units, designed specifically to meet the high rental demand from professionals and students in the Liverpool City Centre market.

Property Details

Units are configured as self-contained studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, designed for modern urban occupancy. The larger units, specifically the two-bedroom apartments, feature two equally-sized double bedrooms and two bathrooms, a layout intended to facilitate rent-sharing among professional tenants and maximise rental yield. Interior specifications include a high-quality, modern fit-out with contemporary kitchenettes, integrated storage, and modern bathroom suites. Apartments benefit from tall ceilings and large sash windows, a feature of the original Edwardian design, which maximises natural light. Detailed floorplans and specific feature lists are available directly from the developer.
