What makes Birmingham the future of buy-to-let properties?
Birmingham has been recognised in the Sunday Times Best Places to Live (2022) as the favourite city centre location in the UK, notably because of its attractive historic buildings and the abundance of high-end shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants.
It is a city with a thriving economy, international attraction, educational hub, strong tech and logistics industries, fantastic growth potential for property investors, and increasing demand.
Getting into the meat of it, here’s
why Birmingham should be on your radar:
Thriving
Economy
Rich in culture, Birmingham boasts a thriving tourist industry, the Royal Ballet...
the Premier League’s Aston Villa Football Club, and the second-largest number of Michelin Star restaurants outside of London.
It is one of the fastest growing local economies in the UK, with a 19,3% projected rental growth forecast over the next five years (2022-2027), driven by an £8-billion regeneration master plan, a youthful population, and the addition of the HS2 high-speed rail network linking Birmingham to London in just 52 minutes.
International Attraction
The city, once the 'workshop of the world' during the Industrial Revolution...
and the birthplace of iconic brands like Cadbury’s, Lloyd’s Bank, and HP Sauce, has evolved into a financial, tech, and business hub.
It is the number one choice outside of London for international companies to establish a base. It has attracted major companies such as Goldman Sachs, HMRC, HSBC Bank, and PWC, contributing to its position as a major regional centre at the heart of the UK.
Educational
Hub
Birmingham is home to eight major universities and research institutions...
producing over 58,000 graduates, supported by an additional 22 universities within an hour’s drive, providing a further 385,000 graduates. This makes it a major draw for talent wishing to contribute to the dynamic progression of this exciting city.
With 38% of the population under 25, the highest percentage of graduate retention in the country, and significant residential and commercial real estate development, Birmingham is being reborn as a major regional centre at the heart of the UK.
Strong Tech and Logistics Industries
Ranked second in the UK as a hub for tech businesses, Birmingham is fuelled by...
It was recently voted the most investable city in the UK, with a host of employers in the technology, innovation, medtech, and life sciences sectors.
On top of that, the logistics industry is also expected to grow by 29% between 2025-2039, compared to the national average of 18%.
Property Investment Potential
The city has fantastic growth potential for property investors due to its youthful...
population. Birmingham’s current affordability advantage over other UK cities and the impending lack of housing supply (nearly 80,000 shortfall by 2042) are set to send prices soaring northward.
Birmingham is tipped to show the strongest growth in the UK over the next decade. The construction of the HS2 and the city’s strength in the tech and logistic industries are priming Birmingham to investors wanting to take advantage of the increasing demand.
geared towards demand and long-term growth.
