THE LOCATION

This development lies in a popular borough of Birmingham; Kings Heath, a ten-minute drive from the city centre; nestling comfortably between the bohemian Moseley, student area Selly Oak, Stirchley and Billesley. Still referred to as ‘the village’, it has been developed to form an attractive public square which plays host to monthly farmers’ markets.

Kings Heath has an urban village atmosphere and has seen a recent influx of boutiques and ‘organic cafe culture’, and so, the ‘hipster location’ has become very popular amongst young professionals and mature students.

According to Hometrack (August, 2017) Birmingham is the number one UK property hotspot!

BIRMINGHAM’S ECONOMY

The Times recently hailed Birmingham as the home of “the most vibrant startup community outside the capital”, with more than 17,000 businesses born last year, up almost 25% on 2015 while the last couple of years have seen major relocations and recommitments from such corporate giants as HSBC and PwC.

Birmingham is quickly becoming one of the UK’s top cities for property investment, attracting more foreign direct investment than any other UK region. The most recent set of data from the Land Registry has stated that property values in Birmingham and the surrounding area were 6.12 percent higher than 12 months ago and 16.72 percent higher than January 2015 (Love Your Postcode, 2017). As more and more people move to Birmingham, property values continue on this upward trajectory with demand rapidly outpacing supply.
