With investment opportunities in one bedroom apartments starting at as little as £24,000, there is something for every type of property investor.

Young professionals are already drawn to Digbeth and this is only likely to increase with the residential development of Birmingham’s industrial past and the possibility of the HS2 terminus being located in the area.
