A one-bedroom apartment in The Arcadian on Hurst Street, offered from auction starting bids. The open-plan living room and fitted kitchen open onto a private balcony; the bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and the flat benefits from one allocated parking space.
This property sits in a cosmopolitan, multicultural student neighbourhood close to Grand Central, Moor Street and Bullring — strong location for short-term or long-let demand. The 132-year lease provides long-term security for buyers; fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit rented city living.
Buyers should factor in the property’s running costs and sale conditions. Annual service charges are around £2,840 and heating is electric with room heaters, which can raise energy bills. The building lacks an EWS1 form and the area records very high crime and wider deprivation — important for tenancy screening and insurance.
The sale is by traditional auction (cash buyers), with a non-refundable reservation fee and buyer pack costs. This presents a quick-purchase route for investors or cash purchasers seeking central Birmingham stock, but make sure to review lease documents and full legal pack before bidding.
