Compact modern apartment in The Mailbox — strong central rental potential.
Open-plan living with integrated kitchen
Set within the converted Royal Arch at The Mailbox, this one-bedroom apartment offers a compact, modern city-centre residence with good energy credentials (high B-rated EPC) and practical double glazing. The open-plan living area, integrated kitchen and private balcony suit a single professional or investor seeking an easy-to-manage urban rental. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal excellent, supporting city working and lettings.
The property sits in a busy, multicultural student neighbourhood in Birmingham city centre with immediate access to shops, restaurants, transport and leisure amenities. Estimated rent of around £900 pcm gives a potential gross yield of about 5.54% at the asking price, making it a straightforward buy-to-let or pied-à-terre opportunity. The Mailbox location brings prestige and convenience but also a lively, late-night atmosphere.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat; check the remaining lease length, ground rent and service charges before committing. Crime levels in the area are recorded as very high, which can affect insurance and tenant profiles. The apartment’s compact bathroom and overall footprint suit single occupants rather than families. These factors are balanced by strong rental demand, central convenience and the building’s converted Mailbox address.
