Summary - Apartment 103 Islington Gates, 6, Fleet Street, BIRMINGHAM B3 1JH
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Modern canalside apartment ideal for investors or central-living buyers.
Two double bedrooms, master with en-suite
Set in the heart of Birmingham city centre, this two-double-bedroom apartment on the first floor of Islington Gates offers a practical city-base or buy-to-let asset. The open-plan living area benefits from large double-glazed windows that flood the space with light, and the master bedroom includes an en-suite for added convenience. At around 824 sq ft the apartment is a comfortable size for two occupants or sharers.
Location is the strong selling point: short walks to Colmore Row, St Paul’s Square, public transport and local amenities. The building dates from the early 2000s and has modern canal-side styling with a balcony; broadband and mobile signals are excellent, supporting professionals and students alike. EPC rating C is reasonable for a city centre flat and the remaining lease (102 years) is healthy for a long-term leasehold purchase.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: heating is via electric storage heaters which can be more expensive than gas, and the kitchen is compact with a relatively low ceiling. The property sits in an area with above-average crime statistics, so purchasers should factor security and insurance costs into plans. Ground rent is modest at £200 per year, but this is a leasehold property so ongoing charges and lease terms are relevant.
For investors, the flat’s central position in a cosmopolitan, student-rich neighbourhood supports strong rental demand and good yield potential. For first-time buyers seeking city living, it presents a ready-made home with straightforward upkeep, though budgeting for heating and understanding the leasehold obligations is important.
