Summary - Apartment 308, 39, Powell Street B1 3DH
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Move-in ready one-bedroom with gated parking near central transport links.
Long lease: 195 years remaining, recently extended
This newly refreshed one-bedroom apartment in the Altitude building offers a straightforward city-centre purchase with long-term security. The lease has been recently extended to 195 years and there is no ground rent, reducing future ownership costs. The flat has been redecorated throughout with new flooring and benefits from floor-to-ceiling glazing in the bedroom that brings generous natural light to the upper-floor position.
Practical features include a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a family-sized bathroom, and secure allocated parking within a gated carpark — a rare perk for central Jewellery Quarter locations. The property is compact at around 485 sqft but is efficiently laid out as an open-plan living, dining and kitchen space with useful hallway storage.
Running costs and considerations are clear: heating is provided by electric room heaters rather than a central system, and the annual service charge is £2,115. There is no private outdoor space and the apartment sits within a busy, multicultural student and inner-city neighbourhood, which supports rental demand but may feel lively for those seeking tranquillity.
Overall this is a low-maintenance, move-in-ready city flat suited to first-time buyers seeking a manageable home close to Birmingham’s business and transport hubs, or investors targeting steady city-centre rental income. Buyers should note the service charge and electric heating when budgeting for ongoing costs.
