A compact fourth-floor one-bedroom in Priory House, offering loft-style living with high ceilings and large windows that deliver strong natural light. The apartment spans about 452 sq ft and has a contemporary finish, making it easy to rent to students or professionals drawn to central Southside.
This unit is presented as an investment opportunity: chain-free sale, long lease (circa 246 years remaining) and an EPC rating of B. Residents benefit from secure controlled access and a private walled courtyard garden — useful rental marketing points in an inner-city setting. Transport links are excellent, with Birmingham New Street within a short walk and immediate access to city centre amenities and universities.
Buyers should note important location and running-cost considerations. The local area records very high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which will affect tenant profiles and rental value sensitivity. Heating is electric (room heaters) and the service charge is £1,261 pa; ground rent details are unspecified and should be checked with your conveyancer.
The sale particulars also state that electrical, heating and sanitaryware items have not been tested; purchasers should arrange their own inspections. Overall, this is a straightforward, centrally positioned flat suited to investors or single-occupant buyers looking for low-entry central property with character, but acceptance of urban area challenges and some follow-up due diligence is essential.
