Birmingham is a really exciting city undergoing a massive transformation, not only for those who work and live there, but also for those who are savvy enough to invest early.

– Birmingham had the second fastest growing city centre population from 2002-2015, an increase of 163% (9800 to 25800 people). The popularity of big city centres among young, single professionals is the main factor for the population changes.

– In big cities, more than half of the people living in the centre work in high-skilled professional occupations. The increase in jobs has created a market for gyms, restaurants, bars and shops, which makes city centre living even more appealing.

– According to a recent employment figures from the Office of National Statistics, approximately 100,000 more people are now employed in the West Midlands region than at the same time last year.

– By 2050, Birmingham airport could be serving up to 50 million people annually – five times as many as it did in 2015.

– Birmingham continues to go from strength to strength and has recently been selected to host the Commonwealth Games in 2022, which will be a game changer for the city.

– Birmingham has outperformed the national city average during 2017, achieving a growth rate of 7% against a national average of 4.6% (source: Hometrack.co.uk).
