Central Birmingham flat to rent

I bought the flat when I was a postgrad student at the Birmingham College of Food, due to its convenient location. As far as I am aware, there is nothing else in this price range with such a great location. It was a fantastic flat to live in both when I was a student and when I was working. It is equally suited to short-term rentals, being right in the city centre.

All the rooms are very bright, due to the large windows going the full length of one wall.

The flat is no pets and non-smoking (there is a balcony that may be used for smoking.)

I have put together this page to answer many common questions - please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like to know anything else.

	The flat is located on the third floor of a recently refurbished high-rise block. The block features: - 24 hour concierge / security - 4 fast, large new lifts (so no waiting!) - excellent double glazing and sound insulation between flats The flat is at the back of the block, so away from the main road. Wireless internet access is available via bt / FON; there is a broadband connection.

There is paid parking at the bottom of the building, or free parking in Great Colmore Street (see map). If you are staying long-term and have a car, you can rent a space near to the flat for about ?5-?0 per month. I was fine with the free parking in Colmore Street while I was living in the flat. The flat is great for people without cars, due to its convenient location.

short-term. These rates include all utility bills, tv license, council tax, service charge. It should be noted that the flat is NOT serviced accommodation. Whilst there is a cleaner who will come in once a week, it is up to you to carry out day to day cleaning, and ensure that the flat is clean & tidy when you leave. An extra charge of £25-£100+ will be levied for any cleaning that needs to be done when you leave. To avoid this charge, clean up after yourself!

We do not recommend the flat for more than 4 people except for families (as there is only one bathroom).

Long term. These rates include service charge but exclude utility bills, tv license, council tax, weekly cleaner (up to you if you have one or not!)

These rates are for the flat and NOT per person! If the flat is rented as a flatshare, then the rent will be split (e.g. for 6 + months: £300 per month for the first bedroom and £320 per month for the second bedroom)
