Southside Off-Market: Prime Birmingham City Centre Investment Opportunity

The Southside off-market development presents a rare chance to invest in one of Birmingham’s most dynamic and fast-growing areas. Situated in the heart of the Southside district, the project blends contemporary architecture with a central location that appeals strongly to young professionals. Residents benefit from proximity to the Bullring, the Smithfield regeneration zone, and Birmingham’s key transport links, ensuring sustained tenant demand and long-term growth potential.

This area is undergoing significant transformation, fuelled by billions in regeneration funding and the city’s expanding business ecosystem. With a surge in rental demand and limited new supply, Southside offers a strategic balance between immediate rental returns and capital appreciation. For investors seeking a strong-performing asset in a thriving regional market, this off-market opportunity represents one of the most attractive propositions in Birmingham today.

Market Summary

Birmingham Property Market Trends and Performance

The Birmingham property market is strategically positioned for growth. Forecasts suggest the West Midlands region will see a +27.6% property price growth over five years, outpacing the UK average of 24.5%. This resilience is built on strong demand, fuelled by a forecasted 15% population growth by 2031. As a result, rental prices are also predicted to soar, with a +22.2% rental increase by 2028 (compared to the UK average of 17% by 2029), making it a high-confidence market for capital appreciation.

Yields

Birmingham Buy-to-Let Rental Yields and Income

Birmingham's rental yields are strong, averaging 6% for traditional buy-to-let (BTL) and reaching 9% for short-term let (STL) strategies in central, high-demand areas. This is primarily due to a severe housing shortage: Birmingham's housing delivery is only meeting around 60% of its annual target, resulting in an estimated deficit of approximately 3,243 homes per year. Amidst the city’s pressing need for 89,000 new homes by 2031, this undersupply guarantees fierce competition for rental properties, creating a lucrative opportunity for investors.

Regeneration

Major Regeneration Projects in Birmingham

Massive investment across the city guarantees future property price inflation:

Smithfield: This £1.9 billion, 17-hectare regeneration site in the heart of Birmingham is one of the largest single city centre developments in the UK. With £172.8 million in grant funding allocated, Smithfield will deliver 3,000+ new homes and 10,000+ jobs.
Big City Plan: This city framework outlines the expansion of Birmingham’s core by 25%, dividing it into distinct quarters such as Digbeth and the Jewellery Quarter. The regeneration aims to enhance connectivity, create up to 50,000 new jobs, and contribute around £2.1 billion to the local economy, strengthening tenant demand beyond the traditional city centre.
UK Economic Engine: Birmingham's thriving finance and tech sectors, bolstered by major corporate relocations, position it as a key UK economic hub outside of London.

Connectivity

Birmingham Transport Links and Connectivity for Commuters

Birmingham is rightly known as the "Crossroads of the UK," with 90% of the UK's population less than a four-hour drive away via the M5, M6, M40, and M42 motorways. This exceptional connectivity is crucial for attracting quality long-term tenants.

HS2 Transformation: The construction of the future HS2 Curzon Street Station is the key driver of future value, cutting the rail journey time to London to approximately 49 minutes. This proximity will push property values in the Eastside and Colmore districts.
Midland Metro: The Metro is actively expanding, with the Eastside Extension reaching into key investment areas like Digbeth and the future HS2 station, significantly improving city-wide access for residents.
Air & Rail: Birmingham Airport (BHX) provides international connectivity, and Birmingham New Street remains the busiest rail hub outside London, ensuring high-speed access across the country.
