| The last 12 months have seen record breaking growth in Birmingham – one of the top performing markets in the UK with record prices for apartments – both sold and to rent. With its rapidly growing workforce and huge global confidence in the city, this growth is showing no signs of slowing. |
| Savills Prime Capital Value Forecast for the West Midlands by 2028 puts Birmingham at +21.5% (2024-2028). |
| A key UK and internationally-ranked university city, investing in Birmingham property enables families with university-bound children the opportunity to offset and fund increasing UK rent costs via this investment. |
| Birmingham’s population grew by nearly 7% in the decade from 2011. Between 2021-31 it will rise another 7% according to local authority predictions, putting further strain on the number of available households. Already, the city has one of the lowest buy-to-let vacancy rates in the UK with a widely reported shortage of 80,000+ new homes. |
| Birmingham’s potential for growth is shown by its median house price to income ratio which in 2022 was 6.3 compared with the national average of 8.9 and in central London up to 22 (suburbs like Ealing 15.8 and Barnet 17.6). These comparisons really hammer home Birmingham’s attractiveness as a place to live and work – hence its strong growth potential for its property market. |
