The Development - The Interchange, Birmingham

This is a fantastic buy to let opportunity within a newly refurbished development of 35 apartments with price points perfectly suited to First-time buyers and Buy-To-Let investors. Set over 7 floors with large front and rear carparks to accommodate all residents, The Interchange is in the heart of ‘The Hub’ situated 10 minutes south of Birmingham City Centre. The Building is surrounded by a vibrant range of services and amenities including supermarkets, F&B and entertainment. With the development of the HS2 international rail network nearby, it will provide Birmingham with a catalyst for unparalleled growth and regeneration as well as placing it at the gateway of both the UK and European high-speed rail network. 

Location

Due to the location being central to a range of transport links, such as a connecting station close by, it will mean London will be a mere 39 mins away, Birmingham City Airport is 5 mins away and the M6 is also only a 5-minute drive, this is one of the best-located developments on the market for connectivity in and out of Birmingham City. 

When HS2 begins running in 2026, Birmingham will effectively become a London commuter town overnight as journey times are cut in half. The idea of affordable living in Birmingham with a commute to London Euston that takes less than 50 minutes from Curzon Street and 40 minutes from The Interchange will likely be highly attractive for many professionals and families, further increasing the demand for residential property. As the HS2 stretches on to the North-West, Birmingham could quickly become the central transport hub of the UK.
