10-year build warranty; award-winning developer backing

Edition places a high-spec two-bedroom apartment on the canal in Birmingham’s fast-changing Eastside, designed for investors targeting strong student and rental demand. The development offers concierge, gym and cinema facilities, a 10-year build warranty and an award-winning developer pedigree — features that support lettings and long-term value.
The apartment is an open-plan, 788 sqft new-build unit with two bathrooms and contemporary finishes. Its canal-side position and proximity to universities, HS2 links and central transport hubs make it attractive for renters and short-term lets. Projected rental yields and local growth forecasts add to the investment case.
Buyers should note material negatives: the surrounding neighbourhood is classified as a cosmopolitan, multicultural student area with a very high crime rate and very slow broadband speeds — factors that may affect tenant mix and management needs. The property is leasehold (999 years remaining) and sits in an area of average deprivation; some investors may prefer to factor additional security or concierge-led management costs into forecasts.
Overall, this Edition apartment suits investors seeking a city-centre, high-amenity asset with clear rental appeal and developer-backed warranties. It will particularly suit those prepared to manage student or young-professional tenancies and who prioritise location, on-site facilities and long-term capital growth over low-crime suburban living.
