Compact rental-ready apartment with extensive communal amenities near universities.
One-bedroom apartment, 537 sq ft, suitable for single occupant or couple
A compact one-bedroom flat (537 sq ft) in the new Affinity Living Lancaster Wharf development, offered with a long 999-year lease. The apartment delivers bright, open-plan living with generous ceiling heights in the communal areas and a contemporary finish. Shared facilities include a gym, private studio, co-working space, audio-visual area, courtyard and riverside garden — amenities that support strong lettability to students and young professionals.
Attractive to investors or a first-time buyer seeking low-maintenance urban living, the scheme’s position close to Birmingham City University and Aston University provides a clear rental market. The apartment’s size suits single occupants or couples; communal spaces and on-site features reduce the need for in-home work or leisure facilities.
There are tangible risks to consider: the surrounding area is classified as deprived with very high local crime rates, and broadband speeds are reported very slow despite excellent mobile coverage. These factors may affect tenant demand and daily convenience. Council tax details are not provided; tenure is leasehold and the development is new-build.
In short: this is a modern, compact apartment with strong amenity-led appeal and clear rental potential, balanced by notable local area challenges that buyers and investors should factor into yield and management plans.
