Owner-occupier restriction: West side cannot be rented
Located in a busy, largely student neighbourhood; crime very high
This upper-floor one-bedroom apartment sits in an iconic canalside development on Wharfside Street, a short walk from New Street Station and Brindleyplace. It offers clear city and canal views, lift access and a concierge service, making daily life straightforward for a first home in the city centre.
The layout is a modern, neutral one-bedroom with standard ceiling heights and good natural light. Heating is electric, which keeps installation simple but can mean higher running costs compared with gas. The flat is leasehold with 111 years remaining.
Important practical details: the building operates an owner-occupier restriction on the West side (no renting), service charges are substantial at about £3,890 per year and ground rent is £450 annually. The area is a cosmopolitan, largely student neighbourhood and crime levels are reported as very high — this may mean more noise and a need for vigilance about security.
For a buyer seeking a compact city base with concierge and excellent transport links, this apartment is a convenient, affordable entry into central Birmingham. However, budget for the ongoing service charges, factor in higher electric heating costs, and consider the owner-occupier restriction and local crime and neighbourhood character before committing.
