This compact fifth-floor studio-style apartment sits in St. Paul’s Place, in the heart of Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter. Large industrial-style windows and high ceilings flood the open-plan living space with natural light, while lift access and secure entry provide convenience and peace of mind. The layout is efficient and best suited to a single occupant or a buy-to-let investor seeking strong central demand.
The apartment is small (approximately 379 sq ft) with a long, narrow living area that limits furniture arrangement and storage. Heating is electric with room heaters; prospective buyers should note limited heating infrastructure. The building is a converted period brick structure offering character, but the area records higher crime levels and ranks as deprived, which may influence resale or tenant profiles.
Service charge and holding costs are notable: an average service charge of about £1,500 pa and ground rent of £300 pa apply. The property is leasehold with around 109 years remaining. No flooding risk is recorded and mobile and broadband coverage are strong, supporting city living and remote working.
Overall, this is a central, low-maintenance apartment offering strong location-driven rental potential and easy access to cafes, transport links and the city’s amenities. It suits single professionals, investors seeking a compact city asset, or a first homebuyer prioritising location over internal space. Buyers should arrange tests for electricals, heating and sanitaryware as these have not been confirmed.
