["515 sqft one-bedroom with balcony and city views","Built in 2020 with contemporary finishes and laminate floors","Long lease — 123 years remaining","Service charge c. £1,820pa; ground rent £205pa","Heating is electric room heaters, no gas central heating","Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband","High local crime and very deprived area — consider safety implications","Affordable council tax; suitable for investors or first-time buyers"]
This modern 1-bedroom apartment (515 sqft) occupies a 2020 mid-terrace building in central Birmingham. The open-plan living/kitchen and balcony provide natural light and city views, making the flat feel larger than its footprint. The lease is long (123 years), and the accommodation is ready to move into with laminate floors and contemporary finishes.
Practical costs are clear: an annual service charge around £1,820 and a £205 ground rent; heating is electric room heaters rather than gas central heating. Council tax is described as affordable. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, useful for professionals or tenants who work from home.
Location trades premium convenience for urban realities. The immediate neighbourhood offers many shops, cafes and transport links, but local crime levels are high and the area is classified as very deprived. That context affects suitability — good for investors seeking rental demand or buyers prioritising affordability and central access, but less suitable for those seeking a quieter, low-crime suburb.
Overall this is a compact, low-maintenance leasehold apartment with clear running costs and strong connectivity. It will suit first-time owners or buy-to-let purchasers who value central location and modern fittings, and who accept the trade-offs of inner-city living.
