Arcadia Mews is a purpose-built modern block of 8 apartments situated within walking distance of bus/train routes to Birmingham City Centre (Broad Street Central is just over 2.5 miles/ten minute drive). Apartments in Arcadia Mews rarely become available as there are very few alternative properties in the local area that are smart,modern, purpose-built & with a private, fully enclosed car park, so most of the existing tenants have been happily settled here for many years.

Considered to be of a significantly higher standard than most other rented properties in the area, this spacious, warm & very comfortable apartment offers the following benefits:

• Purpose built, modern block (built just 8 years ago) located in the corner of a quiet cul-de-sac
• Fully UPVC double-glazed throughout and gas central heating (hot water on-demand - combination boilers)
• Recently completely re-decorated throughout - in bright/neutral colours.
• Private, secure & fully enclosed car park, providing plenty of parking for each resident
• Security entry-phone system with remote unlocking for main door from internal telephone handsets
• Motion-sensor LED lighting systems to both exterior & internal hallways (recently redecorated)
• Open-plan, modern kitchen with integral oven, hob & extractor
• Modern white bathroom suite with shower/shower screen
• All floors are oak laminate throughout with fully tiled bathroom floors
• Bedroom sizes are above-average - very well proportioned double bedrooms
• All rooms are bright, warm & spacious.
• Open outlook (with trees!) to both front and rear - unusual for a property so close to a City centre.
• A peaceful & quiet place to live, away from main roads - easy access, long-established neighbours

Owned & managed by the same Landlord, Arcadia Mews is a long-term rental development. Although an initial 6 month Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement will be offered, suitable tenants may feel secure about renting one of these properties for the long-term, provided the property is looked after and rent is always paid on time. The Landlord offers a rapid response to any maintenance issues (often same day or next day). The initially-quoted rent is guaranteed to stay the same for at least two years and any subsequent reviews will be minimal, provided the tenancy is going well and the property is being looked after.

When viewing a property at Arcadia Mews, the best reference you can get is by speaking to any of the other residents - ask them how happy they are living at Arcadia Mews and how satisfied they are with the service they receive from their Landlord! Many of the existing residents have been living at Arcadia Mews for several years, which is why these properties rarely become available.

Unlike converted houses or flats above shops/commercial premises (most of which are quoting similar rents!), these apartments are purpose-built and the room sizes and layout of the accommodation on offer is therefore so much better (and more modern) than most other properties in the local area. 90% of alternative properties are located on or very close to main roads, which are noisy and with only very limited on-street parking, which is often very congested. 

With a modern/trendy layout, the kitchen integrates into the Lounge area and is separated by a generously proportioned breakfast bar. A large internal hallway separates all of the rooms and has a recess area suitable for a desk/computer. The bedroom is a larger-than-average double room and is very bright/quiet. Being on the first floor, this apartment is very warm as it benefits from the heat/insulation provided by both the apartments above and beneath it, so it requires little to no heating. All hot water is on-demand/when you run the tap from a modern combination boiler, keeping gas usage to an absolute minimum!

With extremely low running costs (Council Tax band 'A') and the best excellent efficiency ratings (Energy Performance Certificate 'B' rated) these properties cost very little to run and offer excellent levels of security when unoccupied.

The room sizes for this specific apartment are as follows:

• This apartment is located on the first floor - accessed via private entrance with security entry-phone
• Entrance Hallway: 13'2" x 7'1" (into recess, suitable for general storage or a PC/computer table etc)
• Lounge/open-plan Kitchen: 20'1" x 10'4" with modern kitchen units, breakfast bar & integrated cooking appliances
• Bathroom: 7'3" x 7'1" - with modern 3-piece white suite with shower/glass shower screen
• Bedroom 14'4" x 11'5" - a generously-proportioned double bedroom with a pleasant/quiet outlook (to the rear)
• Private Car Park - located at rear with one space allocated + additional spaces available first-come, first-served.

There is a large/spacious forecourt to the front of the property which is secure/located in the corner of the cul-de-sac. 2 x large commercial bins are provided which offer at least double the needed capacity needed by the eight apartments. Large recycling bins are also provided - one for each apartment.

Recently re-decorated throughout, this apartment is in excellent condition throughout and offers both bright and spacious accommodation - fully centrally heated & double-glazed with modern fixtures & fittings throughout. This apartment looks and feels like a new home, unlike the tired/worn properties on offer elsewhere at similar rental rates.

The private car park to the rear is accessible to residents only via an under-pass to the side of the property where there is parking for up to ten vehicles in total. Dale Street only has houses on one side of the road, so there is always plenty of additional on-street parking, if needed. This is quite rare for an area so close to the City Centre.

To be eligible to rent this property, prospective tenants must be able to provide satisfactory references (employer & previous Landlord) and pass a credit check fully (or provide a suitable guarantor). Ideally suited to a couple of working professionals, the rental rate equates to just £297 per month per person (or just over £68 per person per week), which is less than what you might pay for a single room n a house share/home of multiple occupancy - this is obviously a much better option! A deposit equivalent to 6 weeks rent will be held securely by the DPS (Deposit Protection Service) for the duration of the tenancy. If your circumstances are different to my general requirements, and you could provide a suitable guarantor, please feel free to get in touch to let me know a little more about your situation before arranging to view.

Due to the quality of accommodation being offered, and giving consideration to all other current residents, who are all long-established & well-settled tenants, please note that only working/professional tenants can only be accepted. No pets, students or DSS/social housing claimants. Smoking is prohibited inside the building or in any of the apartments.

NO ADDITIONAL FEES ARE CHARGED TO TENANTS FOR TAKING UP A TENANCY AT ARCADIA MEWS OTHER THAN £20 PER APPLICANT (PAYABLE TO OPENRENT) FOR CREDIT CHECKS,EMPLOYER & PREVIOUS LANDLORD REFERENCES - THESE ARE THE ONLY CHARGES WHICH APPLY AND THEY ARE VERY REASONABLE. THE OPENRENT 'RENT NOW' SERVICE PROVIDES ALL REFERENCES AND THE TENANCY AGREEMENT. OPENRENT ALSO HOLD THE INITIAL DEPOSIT & RENT PAYMENT UNTIL YOU HAVE MOVED IN AND ARE HAPPY WITH YOUR ACCOMMODATION.

Available from Monday 1st April 2019. This property is available for a long-term let but will be initially let on a 6 month Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) with an option for a longer renewal if all goes well. Please call (or message)to enquire or to arrange a viewing.
