This one-bedroom apartment in The Axium offers a compact, modern living space well suited to buy-to-let investors or single city professionals. The open-plan layout and large full-height windows provide good natural light, while neutral finishes and wood-effect flooring reduce immediate refurbishment costs and speed re-letting.
Residents benefit from on-site lifestyle and security features including 24-hour security, concierge, CCTV and a private screening room and communal terrace — amenities that appeal to young professionals and short-stay renters. The flat is adjacent to Birmingham New Street Station and within walking distance of Bullring, Grand Central and major business districts, supporting strong commuter demand.
Practical considerations: the property is leasehold with 996 years remaining and a modest footprint of about 485 sq ft, so it suits single occupants or an efficient rental unit rather than a family home. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central gas system, which can mean higher running costs and should be factored into rent or service charge calculations.
Location risks are material: the local area scores as very deprived and crime levels are very high, which can affect tenant mix, insurance premiums and management requirements. There is no flooding risk and broadband/mobile connectivity are strong — helpful for attracting working tenants. Overall, the apartment combines central convenience and on-site amenities with straightforward cosmetic presentation, making it an accessible investment with transparent trade-offs.
