\u201cWe knew demand for city centre living here was far outpacing supply, but when you look behind the numbers, it is intriguing to see that the trend is clearly being driven by HS2.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you consider that the first bullet train isn\u2019t due to be in service between London and Birmingham until 2026, it underlines just how savvy young professionals are, and how highly they rate efficient and high-speed transport links.<\/p>\n

\u201cRoughly three-quarters of city centre residents in Birmingham are 35 or under, and because supply is lagging, the typical monthly rent for a prime one-bedroom flat is now just over \u00a31,000 a month, and \u00a31,600 for a two-bedroom property.\u201d \u00a0Simon Horan, JLL<\/b><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The report also revealed that the West Midlands saw a 5.3% increase in the year to Q3 2018 driven by a local housing shortage. With 15.9% increase in house prices and a 16.5% increase in rental income expected for 2023<\/p>\n
