Birmingham, often referred to as the UK’s second city,
has become one of the hottest property investment locations in not
just the UK, but across the whole of Europe. Ranking above London as one of the most popular
cities in Europe to invest, the city is attracting billions of pounds of investment across the city, with commercial, residential and retail property all
a target for keen investors. Globally operating organisations such as Deutsche Bank, HSBC and PwC are
making decisions to relocate head offices to Birmingham, further cementing the idea that the
city has grown in popularity, and continues to do so.
It is clear to see that property investors and global organisations alike are
very interested in the city, but what exactly is
it that Birmingham has to offer? One of the most
admired features of Birmingham is its central location, making it the most connected city in the whole of the UK.
Some of the UK’s biggest cities, such as Edinburgh, London and Manchester, are within four hours of Birmingham, and can be accessed by a number of different
transport methods. The UK’s M1 and M6 motorways connect to create
an easy passage into the city by car, and the Birmingham New Street station is the
busiest train station outside of London, improving travel
times and increasing the number of passengers.
Birmingham has grown over recent years, boasting one of the strongest performing economies within the UK of £24.8 billion,
a figure that represents the strongest economy outside of the capital city.
In a study conducted in 2017, it was found that Birmingham is
the most improved city to live and work in, in the whole of the UK.
With large investments and regeneration projects, combined with falling
unemployment rates and the highest standard of living out of the UK’s
regional cities, Birmingham truly is a very good place to
be.
In the 1960s, average wages in Birmingham were higher than in London.
It was at the heart of UK manufacturing and had the lowest unemployment rates in the country.
After the car industry imploded, the city fell into decline.
Thankfully, over the last few years, the city has undergone a renaissance.
In 2017, HSBC moved their headquarters to Birmingham, bringing with them more
than £200M in investment and 1,000 head office roles from London. Other multinationals,
such as Deutsche Bank and PwC, have followed suit and expanded their operations to the city.
At Alesco, we consider Birmingham to be one of the best locations
in the UK for property investment.
And we’re not alone. PwC recently ranking Birmingham as the sixth best city for
investment in the whole of Europe and the best for property investment in the UK.
Here are some of the reasons why. Situated in the heart of the UK, 90% of the population can drive to Birmingham in under four hours.
London is just 100 miles away. Birmingham Airport serves 150 destinations globally and welcomes nearly 13 million people through its doors annually.
In November 2018, plans for a £500m investment were unveiled, which has the potential to increase passenger numbers to 30
million a year. Arriving in the centre of Birmingham in 2026 will be
HS2 - Europe’s biggest infrastructure project.
The high-speed rail link will cut travel times between Birmingham
and London to under one hour. Furthermore, it will bring £1 billion in investment
to the Eastside area of Birmingham where the HS2 station is
going to be situated. Birmingham is Europe’s youngest city with 45% of
the population under the age of 30. This includes around 65,000 students across five top universities.
Within a one-hour radius of the city, you’ll find 20 more universities -
including three Russell Group institutions. By 2039, Birmingham’s population is expected to
rise by 171,000 to 1.3 million. This means there is a vast pool
of talent for employers to choose from.
But it also means there is a massive opportunity for buy-to-let
investors to provide accommodation for this influx
of people. The £700m, city-centre Paradise project is one of Birmingham’s most
important development in a generation. It will bring 1.8m square
feet of new office, retail and leisure space as
well as a 250-bedroom hotel. Another significant development is Smithfield - a 34-acre site located between the city’s Chinese quarter, Eastside
district and the main city centre shopping area. This £1bn development will create new shops, hotels, a public square and 2,000 new homes.
The project, set to commence in 2019, will bring 3,000 new jobs and £470 million to the city economy.
In December 2017, the city was selected to host the 2022 Commonwealth Games,
which will be the largest sporting event in the UK since the 2012 Olympics.
As a result, Birmingham will have the global spotlight on it and receive an estimated
£750-million boost to its economy. Average house prices in the city are still
at around £197K, and with prices set to rise by 20-30% over
the next four years, Birmingham property investment is very
attractive. With the highest quality of life in the UK after London - but with a cost of living that is 60% less - Birmingham
is expected to see rapid growth over the next few years.
The high demand for high-quality city centre living and a lack of residential properties has created a strong buy-to-let market.
As an investor, this is the perfect time to sow the seeds of a lucrative investment.

The East and West Midlands are seeing growth in buy to let investment
property purchases. However, landlords in the Midlands are challenging this
trend. Strong economic growth in the region fueled by Birmingham’s successful regeneration and a plethora of universities have made the region particularly
desirable for investment. Further stimulation came from several financial service firms
relocating their head office and operational functions outside of London to Birmingham.
HSBC and Deutsche Bank recently made the move, while further activity is expected in the city ahead
of the 2022 Commonwealth Games. Tenant demand was also
seen to be increasing in the region. 42 per cent of landlords
in the East Midlands had seen a surge in demand, while 33 per cent of landlords in the West Midlands noted the same trend.
These figures are particularly high when considered in comparison to the 24 per cent of all landlords who noted rising
demand. Rental in the region were also strong. Landlords in the East Midlands reported average yields of 6.7 per cent while those in the
West Midlands saw yields of 6.2 per cent.
In comparison, the research also discovered
that landlords operating in Central London were least likely
to be buying property. In fact, a net 16 per cent of those in the capital said that they had sold some Property
Developer in Birmingham in the first quarter.
Severn Trent’s property arm, Midlands Land Portfolio Ltd, along with Gedling Borough Council, has sold around 135 acres of land at Teal Close to Persimmon Homes for a development that will
include much needed affordable new housing. "The sale proceeds for Midlands Land Portfolio Ltd will be GBP21.8 million, and a proportion of the resulting profits will be shared with our customers, helping to keep future water bills lower. The site is located approximately five miles east of Nottingham, between Netherfield and Stoke Bardolph and will include fantastic new facilities and services for the area. Alongside 830 new homes there will be new leisure areas including play pitches with changing facilities, allotments and children’s play areas for the community to use. There will also be an ecology park, together with a new community building and a new primary school, all bringing people and jobs into the area.
Melanie Bowen, manager at East Midlands Property Management celebrates 20 years with the company this month. When she joined 20 years ago the company was known as Hill and Hill and operated out of a converted garage in Frieston. Since then there have been many changes to the company, in both names and addresses but it has been known as East Midland Property Management since 2013. She now oversees the running of both the Grantham and Newark offices. Melanie says "I have seen many changes over the last 20 years, not only within the company but in lettings as a whole.
England’s West Midland area has got a lot on offer for a wide range of investors: from luxurious apartments in Birmingham’s city centre to little
cottage in the region’s more rural parts. The West Midlands consist of
Shropshire. Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire and West Midlands (county).
The area is usually slightly more expensive than its Eastern counterpart as it is more popular with buyers.
Regardless of budget, the perfect fit should be available for everyone
in the region. Especially the more recent regeneration and investment incentive like the
Northern Powerhouse initiative and the planning of the HS2 have given the
West Midlands a new boost. When looking to invest in one of
the country’s bigger cities, make sure you have a good look at Birmingham.
Over the last couple of year, the city has almost experienced a complete transformation. With more and more
investment and business moving away from London and further up north to benefit from the cheaper prices, for many Birmingham is the
first stop. With its central location within the country, the West
Midlands really do offer a lot. Transport links to and from Birmingham to the country’s major cities are
plenty regardless of your chosen form of transport. Trains from London to Birmingham, Coventry, Worcester and Wolverhampton are already departing twice an hour.
And chances are, this will only increase -
whilst the actual travel time will decrease - once the new High Speed Rail is actually built.
So if the West Midlands have caught your eye as an investment hotspot,
make sure you check out Birmingham’s amazing, brand new developments.
Or if a quieter retreat is what you’re looking for, make sure to hunt around the region’s pretty villages, hamlets and
tiny towns. We source property deals, you won’t find anywhere else on the
market. Bringing together everything you need to
maximise your returns from property investment. Hands-free property
investments from £20,000 initial deposit in the market’s strongest performing

opportunities.
 If you have a commercial property like a retail unit or office space sitting empty then it’s almost certainly
costing you money in security, lost rents, and maintenance.
At Home Point we’re estate agents with extensive experience in selling and leasing commercial
properties. We can get find your property a tenant and get it delivering a return on your investment.
We moved into commercial sales and lettings in 2009 and
offer a free initial appraisal of the site and a valuation whether
you’re looking to rent it out or sell it on. Commercial
property is a term that covers all sorts of sites.
It can mean retail units in shopping centres and on the high street.
It can be leisure properties like bars or restaurants. Or
industrial properties like warehousing, self-storage units and trade counters.
Most often, it refers to office space, both serviced with all the maintenance and IT
infrastructure provided and conventional where you deal with
this yourself. There’s huge demand for these kinds of commercial site in Birmingham.
That’s why we’re seeing lots of new office developments in the city centre and plenty of older industrial buildings being turned into new studio space for start-up companies.
So you can rely on us to find you a tenant or buyer for your
property.
Once we’ve carried out the initial appraisal and you’re
happy with the recommended rental or sale price, we will get a
detailed profile of your site built up.
That will mean photographing the available space
and putting together all the information we can to help potential tenants make their decision.
And we’ll advertise using the major commercial property portals online to ensure we reach as many prospective tenants as possible.
That also helps us to make as swift a sale as possible or to find a tenant
in a quick timeframe. During that time that we’ll keep you updated on any feedback we get from prospective tenants and how many
enquiries we’re getting for your property. As an estate agent we follow the Code of Practice of The Property Ombudsman, so you’ll find the
green symbol of the Ombudsman on our site here. That means
we’re committed to working in your interests, and have Indemnity Insurance
in case of any problems. |
