WHY INVEST IN birmingham?
The UK’s second largest city with a population of 1.15million, Birmingham’s property market consistently outperforms the UK average. Property prices are forecast to rise by 19.2% between 2023-2027, an average annual increase of 3.6%.
Following massive investment in its office infrastructure and high speed trainline (HS2), Birmingham has successfully attracted major players out of London including Goldman Sachs, HSBC and more. It also still retains a strong manufacturing presence with key UK companies like Jaguar-Landrover and Cadbury’s headquartered there.
Like Manchester, Birmingham remains an affordable place to live for the majority of its workforce. Regarded as ‘less developed’ than Manchester, competition for city centre apartments is huge.
Rents in the city grew by 11.4% between 2023-2024. According to JLL’s Big Six report, published in Q3 2024: “Supply and demand imbalances in the rental market drives annual rental growth for new build apartments (+10.3%). New build three-bed rental apartments recorded the highest annual rental growth of 12.5%, followed by one-beds at 10% and two-beds at 7.7%.”
Digbeth and the Jewellery Quarter remain the most popular neighbourhoods for property investors looking for medium to long-term capital appreciation. Some of our clients have also made excellent short-term returns on their Birmingham investments in the JQ.
Birmingham has one of the highest population growth rates in the country, further playing into the supply/demand dynamic of its property market – good news for property investment.
