WHY INVEST IN birmingham?
Birmingham is one of the top performing markets for investment property in the UK. Strong rental yields, robust tenant demand, major regeneration projects and its excellent transport connectivity all combine to stoke investor confidence. And with its rapidly growing workforce and huge global confidence in the city, this growth is showing no signs of slowing.
Savills Prime Capital Value Forecast for the West Midlands by 2029 puts Birmingham at +27.6% (2025-2029), outperforming the UK average and that of London and the South East.
A key UK and internationally-ranked University City, investing in Birmingham property enables families with university-bound children the opportunity to offset and fund increasing UK rent costs via this investment.
In recent years Birmingham’s population has grown at a rate of 1.3% annually, notably higher than the average annual growth rate of 0.6% observed over the previous decade. Its recent acceleration in population growth makes it one of the fastest growing populations in the UK, good news for property investors.
Birmingham’s potential for growth is shown by its median house price to income ratio currently around 6.6x which is below the West Midlands regional average of 7.2 and well below London boroughs like Wandsworth 10.0x. These comparisons really hammer home Birmingham’s attractiveness as a place to live and work – hence its strong growth potential for its property market.
