The modern kitchen and bathroom, and wood-style flooring throughout, keep the apartment low-maintenance and move-in ready.
Practical features include an allocated gated parking space—uncommon for inner-city flats—and a secure entry system, making this a convenient option for professionals or first-time buyers who commute. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the location places shops, cafés, St Paul’s Square, Brindley Place and the Jewellery Quarter within easy reach.

Heating is via electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas alternatives. Council tax is above average for the area. The neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan, student-heavy area and crime levels are above average, so consider daytime and evening visits to assess local feel and peace levels.
Overall, the apartment suits those seeking a central, low-fuss home with secure parking and good transport links. It will particularly appeal to professionals and first-time buyers wanting a comfortable, modern base in Birmingham with clear ownership costs and some urban trade-offs to weigh.
