This well-specified 1-bedroom, first-floor apartment offers 501 sqft of efficient living space in a restored period building close to Birmingham’s Colmore Business District. High ceilings, large arched windows and contemporary finishes create bright, marketable accommodation aimed at young professionals and city renters. Apartment features include integrated kitchen appliances, Villeroy & Boch bathroom fittings and WiFi-controlled heating.
Positioned minutes from Snow Hill Station and within easy walking distance of major employers and the future HS2 Curzon Street hub, the property targets strong rental demand and potential capital growth. The development’s mixed studio, one- and two-bed offer adds rental flexibility for investors seeking lettings to legal, financial and corporate professionals.
Buyers should note material negatives: the estate sits in a very high crime area and a deprived neighbourhood, and broadband speeds are reported very slow. The unit is leasehold; buyers must check lease length, service charges and any ground rent commitments. The location’s student communal classification may influence tenant mix and yield seasonality.
Overall, this is a turnkey city-centre rental opportunity with contemporary specification and exceptional connectivity — suited to investors prepared to manage area-related risk and confirm leasehold costs before purchase.
