A compact one-bedroom apartment in The Orion Building, positioned for strong rental demand thanks to immediate city-centre access and student-focused footfall. The open-plan living area, balcony and communal rooftop create attractive amenity value for tenants seeking modern urban living close to New Street and Bullring.
Practical benefits include secure allocated parking in a garage, double glazing and a recently built block (circa 2003–2006) that reduces short-term maintenance risk. The 103 years remaining on the lease supports resale and letting, though tenure is listed as unknown and should be clarified before purchase.
Notable operating costs and risks: heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which can mean higher energy bills and may deter some long-term tenants. The area records very high crime levels, a material factor for pricing, insurance and tenant screening. Council tax is described as affordable, and the building's central location gives easy access to transport, shops and a wide range of amenities popular with students and young professionals.
This apartment will suit investors targeting student or young-professional lettings, or first-time buyers prioritising location and convenience over large living spaces. Expect steady rental interest but factor in energy costs, security considerations and the need to confirm leasehold details before proceeding.
