Furthermore, you'll find yourself within walking distance of the city centre, Central Business District, and the Snow Hill and New Street railway stations.

THE DEVELOPMENT

This spacious and contemporary collection of homes blends history with style to offer a cutting-edge lifestyle in the heart of Birmingham.

All four storeys of Photographic Works have been carefully curated to offer spacious, contemporary living with attention to detail at every turn. On the inside, the apartments meet high quality specification with lift access to all floors. While on the outside, sympathetic architecture with a photographic spin gives a nod to the site’s history. Most notably, the loft style design that incorporates brick piers which fade as they rise towards the natural light, reminiscent of film strips.

  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
  • Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
  • Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
