Affordable city living in Birmingham

Birmingham home hunters can enjoy city centre living without the city price tag thanks to Redrow. According to the property website rightmove.co.uk, house prices in the West Midlands rose by 1.4% in May.
Lynne Gardener, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (Midlands), said: “With an upward trend in property prices, now could be the time to invest in a brand new home. The studios and apartments at our Jupiter development have been hugely popular with buyers who want to sample stylish city living at an affordable price. But time is running out for those who want to call Jupiter ‘home’ as we’re nearing the end of the development with the final wave of apartments now one sale.”
Studios are available from as little as £64,995, with one-bedroom apartments priced from £104,995.
“Apartment living is often seen as the domain for young people starting out in life and, while the apartments at Jupiter are an attractive prospect for first time buyers, they’re also well suited to other groups of buyers. These include downsizers and those who want to make a fresh start after a change in circumstances,” Lynne commented.
“Jupiter represents city centre living at its most chic. Home owners will benefit from owning a quality built, brand new home that’s easy to maintain and efficient to run. All of the apartments feature Redrow’s sophisticated specification, including fully fitted kitchens with integrated appliances and sleek white bathroom suites with quality fixtures and fittings.”
Jupiter lies within walking distance of Birmingham city centre, offering a vibrant mixture of culture, art, entertainment and nightlife. Residents can indulge in some serious retail therapy, catch a show or enjoy fine dining right on their doorstep.
“The central location of the apartments also makes them an attractive prospect for buy to let investors as they’re almost certain to have a steady supply of tenants who want to live close to their workplace and take advantage of the city centre amenities,” Lynne added.
