Why invest in Birmingham

We've mentioned in the past the opportunities available in Birmingham, not only for property investors; but for businesses (new and old); the residents; and for the country as a whole. The Big City Plan is one of the worlds most exciting regeneration projects and we invite you to consider investing in CrowdLords' newest investment in the UK's second largest city.

We've listed some of the key projects happening in Birmingham City, and there's more still to come
