This two-bedroom, two-bath apartment in Birmingham B5 is aimed squarely at buy-to-let investors seeking immediate rental income and future resale uplift. The new-build property offers modern finishes across approximately 665 sqft, on-site facilities, and strong digital connectivity that supports high tenant demand.
A projected 6% rental yield and proximity to major transport upgrades — including planned HS2 improvements — make this a practical choice for investors targeting city-centre renters and students. The building’s contemporary communal and apartment layouts suit sharers or professional tenants, helping maintain steady occupancy.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property is leasehold, located in a high-crime, deprived area and sits within a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood where noise and turnover can be higher than average. These factors affect management needs, insurance costs and tenant profiles, so active asset management is recommended.
Overall, the apartment delivers modern appeal, immediate rental potential and excellent connectivity, balanced against elevated local risk factors and leasehold constraints. It suits investors prepared to manage city-centre lets and capitalise on transport-led growth.
