Summary - SOUTHSIDE APARTMENT 220 ST JOHNS WALK BIRMINGHAM B5 4TJ
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact city-centre flat with parking and EWS1 approval.
Two double bedrooms with Juliette balconies
A compact two-bedroom first-floor apartment in Birmingham’s Southside development, ideal for buy-to-let investors or city professionals seeking central, low-maintenance living. The flat has a separate kitchen, two double bedrooms with Juliette balconies, a medium lounge and an allocated off-street parking space — useful in a busy city centre. EWS1 approval and an EPC B are clear practical advantages for mortgageability and energy performance.
The property sits within the Chinese Quarter close to extensive local amenities, nightlife and transport links, supporting strong rental demand from students and young professionals. The building is modern (circa 2003–2006) with a brick façade and street-level retail, contributing to a city-centre feel and steady footfall nearby. Vacant possession and no onward chain make for a straightforward purchase process.
Be clear on the trade-offs: the apartment is small (approximately 489 sq ft) and uses electric room heaters rather than a communal gas heating system. The area records higher crime levels and parts of the neighbourhood are classified as deprived, which may affect tenant mix and long-term capital growth. Leasehold details are generally healthy (about 127 years remaining) but the ground rent (£300 pa) and service charge are factors to confirm. For investors, the central location, allocated parking and strong local rental market present attractive letting potential despite the few restraints.
