Welcome to Birmingham

Although Birmingham may have moved on considerably from its position as a manufacturing powerhouse during the industrial revolution, it is a city which has, in one way or another, never looked back from its transformation. Today, it stands as a vitally important part of the British economy.

It leads the way in employment for several sectors, including health and education, among others. This means there are plenty of job opportunities for those looking to call Birmingham their new home. This, alongside its place as a major transport hub, further increases the possibilities for career-minded individuals.

Plus, being home to five universities makes this city a great location for those who have access to higher education as a priority. For many, this makes Birmingham a logistically sound choice that meets so many of their needs.

But simply pointing out the great employment and educational possibilities doesn’t give you a sense of the spirit of Birmingham. This isn’t a city which is simply a wise decision for you or your family’s prospects. It certainly is that, but there’s so much more life and vibrancy to Birmingham than just business and busses.

It’s a city that is as proud of its past as it is excited about its future. It boasts an unfaltering love for music, from the classical – best symbolised by its iconic symphony hall – to the modern musical juggernaut: the 02 Arena. This passion for the creative can also be seen through its many museums and art galleries. But Birmingham’s love affair with culture can’t be contained within a frame, with the city being home to Britain’s longest-standing producing theatre, among many other performing art venues.

What is Shared Ownership?

Shared Ownership is a government scheme that allows buyers to purchase a share in a property, usually between 10% and 75%, while paying a reduced market rent to a housing association on the remainder. The scheme gives first time buyers and those that do not currently own a home the opportunity to purchase a share in a new-build or resales property.

“A year after I moved in, I staircased to 75% and then purchased the final share, and now I own my home 100% outright. I really do recommend Shared Ownership as a fantastic way to get into the housing market.”
