Situated on the canal in the heart of Birmingham, this two-bedroom, 2nd-floor apartment offers a straightforward buy-to-let opportunity with strong transport and amenity appeal. The property is chain-free with a long lease (c.132 years) and benefits from secure gated parking, concierge service and a Juliette balcony with waterside/city views — features that help attract city-centre tenants.
The flat measures about 651 sq ft and includes an open-plan living area with integrated kitchen, two double bedrooms (one with fitted wardrobes) and a shower room. It is offered with current rental income of £1,150 pcm and an indicated potential yield of over 6%, making it suitable for investors seeking immediate income or short-term capital growth from a central Birmingham address close to New Street station and the Bullring.
Running costs and tenure details are important: EPC C, council tax band D, service charge around £3,216 per year (£804 quarterly) and ground rent £250 p.a. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central gas system, which can mean higher energy bills. There is no private garden and the development sits in an area with very high recorded crime levels, factors to weigh against the strong rental demand and central location.
Overall this apartment offers a low-management city rental with secure parking, concierge and good connectivity. Buyers should instruct their solicitor to verify service charge, ground rent and lease details, and factor in the higher running costs and local safety profile when assessing net returns.
