Set on the second floor of Hallmark Apartments, this bright one-bedroom flat makes a straightforward entry into Jewellery Quarter living. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the open-plan living area with light, and the kitchen arrives with integrated appliances for immediate use. The apartment is offered chain free and has a very long lease (976 years), simplifying purchase and rental plans.
Practical running costs are clear: an EPC of C and modest council tax banding help with monthly budgeting, but main heating is via electric room heaters rather than a central system. Service charge and ground rent are specified (about £1,553.88 pa and £175 pa respectively), and these should be factored into affordability calculations. An EWS1 certificate is available.
The location is the property’s strong suit — a short walk to St Paul’s Square and Snow Hill station, with easy access to restaurants, boutiques and central transport links. The area suits single occupants, couples, and investors seeking a centrally positioned let, though the neighbourhood’s student and mixed-use character and above-average local crime rates are worth noting.
Overall this is a compact, well-presented flat for a buyer seeking low-maintenance city living or a landlord wanting a rentable central unit. It needs no major work and offers quick move-in potential, while heating type and local area factors should guide viewing decisions.
