Set in a canalside development moments from Birmingham New Street, this larger-style one-bedroom apartment offers 585 sq ft of bright, open-plan living. Floor-to-ceiling dual-aspect windows flood the living/kitchen space with light and the integrated kitchen and neutral finishes provide a ready-to-live-in home for first-time buyers.
Practical extras include a secure allocated parking space, concierge and facial-recognition security access for added convenience and peace of mind. The building has an EWS1 B2 rating and the flat comes with a long lease (131 years remaining) at a competitive asking price of £190,000.
Running costs are notable: current service charge around £2,700 and a ground rent of £250 per year, plus electric room heaters as the main heating source — consider likely energy costs compared with gas alternatives. The property sits in a lively, multicultural student-centred area with excellent transport links (about five minutes to New Street Station), which supports rental demand but also means the neighbourhood is busy.
Buyers should note the area records very high crime levels; viewings and future occupancy should take local security into account despite on-site security measures. Overall this apartment suits a buyer seeking affordable city-centre living, strong transport access and low-entry ownership, or an investor looking for central rental potential with clear running-costs to factor in.
