Set in Birmingham’s sought-after Jewellery Quarter, this two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers a practical city base or a straightforward buy-to-let opportunity. The open-plan living/kitchen is the apartment’s focal point, with laminate flooring, integrated appliances and two west-facing windows that give good afternoon light. The principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite; a second double bedroom and separate bathroom complete the layout.
The property is chain-free with a long lease (around 110 years remaining) and sits close to St Paul’s Square, canals and a wide range of bars, cafés and transport links – ideal for professionals, students and investors who value location. Council tax is described as cheap and allocated parking is noted, which is an uncommon plus in the area.
There are some practical drawbacks to factor into any offer. Heating is by electric storage heaters and main fuel is electricity; broadband speeds are very slow locally. The neighbourhood records higher crime levels and the building’s interior is serviceable but dated in places, so cosmetic updating may be needed to maximise rental income or resale value. Service charge and ground rent figures are currently TBC, and buyers should budget for leasehold-related fees and any future service costs.
Overall this apartment suits a buyer wanting a reasonably sized, low-maintenance city pied-à-terre or an investor after a centrally located, chain-free two-bed with straightforward refurbishment potential.
