Well-presented two-bedroom apartment on the second floor in Birmingham’s B5 Chinese Quarter. At about 657 sq ft the open-plan living room and fitted kitchen with integrated appliances suit a first-time buyer or investor looking for a city-centre pied-à-terre with immediate rental appeal. The 115-year lease and double glazing offer security and energy-efficiency benefits compared with older stock.
The location is a major strength: fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and close walking distance to transport, shops, restaurants and nightlife. The building is modern (constructed 2003–2006) and the property is described as ready to move into, making viewings straightforward for those seeking convenience and low short-term work.
Buyers should note material considerations: the neighbourhood records very high crime and the wider area is classified as deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth and letting yields. Heating is by electric room heaters, which can raise running costs versus gas; the service charge (~£2,064pa) and ground rent (£230pa) are ongoing leasehold costs to budget for.
Overall this is a compact, city-centre apartment suited to first-time buyers who prioritise location and convenience, or investors targeting student or short-term city rentals. Viewings are recommended to assess room sizes, noise levels and suitability for your intended use.
