Letting Agents in Yardley Let Agreed Croft Close, Yardley £895 PCM

Partridge Homes, the Award Winning Letting Agents in Yardley are pleased to announce another let agreed on Croft Close, Yardley — this time at £895 per calendar month, making it a record rental price for a one-bedroom flat on this road. This result is a clear reflection of the strong and growing demand for quality rental homes in the B25 area, and of what a well-presented property can achieve when it’s marketed properly.

The Property: Croft Close, Yardley, B25

This ground floor apartment ticks all the right boxes for renters looking for a move-in ready home in a well-connected part of Birmingham. Here’s a summary of what the property offers:

The recently re-fitted kitchen and bathroom made a real difference here. Tenants today are discerning — they want a home that feels fresh and ready to live in from day one. This property delivered exactly that, and the agreed rent reflects it.

Why £895 PCM Is a Record for This Road

Context matters when it comes to rental prices. The average asking rent for a one-bedroom flat in B25 currently sits at around £840 per calendar month, meaning this agreed rent of £895 PCM sits roughly 6.5% above the local average. For Croft Close specifically, this is the highest rent ever agreed on the road for a one-bedroom flat.

This isn’t a fluke. It’s the result of a combination of factors:

• The condition of the property — updated fittings throughout meant there was nothing for a prospective tenant to negotiate down on
• Correct pricing strategy — pricing a property accurately from the outset generates competition, not prolonged vacancy
• Targeted marketing — reaching the right tenants quickly, through the right channels, is what gets results like this

The wider Birmingham rental market is also playing its part. Average monthly rents in Birmingham have risen significantly in recent years, and supply remains tight. Properties in good condition, priced correctly, are being snapped up quickly — the average time on market across Birmingham is currently around 32 days, and well-presented homes are often agreed even faster.

The B25 Rental Market: What the Numbers Say

For landlords considering Yardley as an investment location, or those already letting in B25, the data is encouraging:

• Rental values across B25 have increased by 1.1% in the last 12 months
• Average rents in Birmingham rose by approximately 6.8% in the year to March 2025
• Over the five years preceding 2025, average rents in Birmingham increased by 55.9% — far outpacing property price growth of 18.8% over the same period

For landlords, this combination of rising rents and falling supply makes Yardley a strong and reliable location to hold rental property.

Why Yardley (B25) Remains One of Birmingham’s Most In-Demand Rental Areas

Yardley is one of those areas that consistently delivers for landlords and tenants alike. It has good bones — largely 1930s housing stock, wide roads, and a strong local community — and it is genuinely well connected.

Tenants are drawn to B25 for practical reasons:

• Birmingham city centre is easily accessible by road and public transport
• Birmingham Airport is just a short drive away, making it popular with airport workers and frequent travellers
• Birmingham Heartlands Hospital is nearby, creating steady demand from NHS staff
• The M42 and M6 motorways are both within easy reach for those commuting further afield
• Solihull town centre, with its retail and leisure offer, is a short journey south

The result is a broad and reliable tenant pool — young professionals, healthcare workers, airport staff, and families — which keeps void periods low and rental demand consistent.

The Croft Close property is a good example: quality presentation and accurate pricing attract serious tenants fast.

Why should I use a local letting agent in Yardley rather than a national one?

A local agent knows the area in a way that a national call centre simply cannot. We know which streets attract the most demand, what tenants in B25 are looking for, and how to price a property to let quickly without leaving money on the table.
