Move-in ready one-bed in Jewellery Quarter — strong rental yield and superb transport links..
One double bedroom, efficient 474 sq ft layout
A compact, well-presented one-bedroom apartment in Birmingham’s sought-after Jewellery Quarter, offered as a tidy, move-in ready home or a turn-key rental. The flat sits within a secure development with communal courtyards and benefits from fast Hyperoptic broadband — ideal for city working or letting to professionals and students. At about 474 sq ft the layout is efficient: a living room with a peaceful outlook, a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a generous double bedroom and a bathroom with a large shower cubicle.
This leasehold property carries around 101 years remaining and modest ground rent (£100). It is currently tenanted on a periodic agreement, offering immediate rental potential and a stated gross yield of c.7.3% at the current asking price. Superfast broadband and proximity to transport links (approximately 0.7 miles to New Street and Snow Hill stations) strengthen its appeal to commuters and investors.
There are practical drawbacks to note: the apartment uses electric room heaters (no communal gas/hydraulic system), which can mean higher running costs compared with mains gas heating. There is no allocated private parking included; on-street and nearby long-stay options are available. The local area is classified as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood and recorded crime levels are above average — factors to weigh for owner-occupiers or lettings strategy.
Overall this is a sensible choice for first-time buyers seeking central, low-maintenance city living or buy-to-let investors after immediate income and good transport links. Viewings will suit those who prioritise location, condition and rental demand over large internal space or private parking.
