Birmingham, as well as the wider area of the West Midlands, is ever-expanding in population, with the city inhabiting over 1.1 million people. As a result, Birmingham earns its position as the second largest city in the country, following the leading city of London. This impressive position in the UK’s population leaderboard unquestionably correlates with the exponential growth that this city has also seen in its property market. The average property price here has increased by around 6% in the last 12 months alone, with the average price sitting comfortably at over £280k (Plumpot Feb 2023). With the rising property prices coupled with increased rental property costs, investors are all the more yearning to benefit from the high average price growth that Birmingham is anticipated to retain, with JLL forecasting 19.2% sales growth over the next 5 years (JLL Q4 2022). What’s more, a proportion of Birmingham’s success over the past few years has arisen from inward investment from the local government for infrastructure projects. Europe’s largest infrastructure project, HS2, will inevitably drive more investment to the area through the implementation of stronger transport links, as well as 2022’s Commonwealth Games contributing £870.7million to Birmingham’s economy (Gov.UK Jan 2023)
