The transformation of a former Open University building in Harborne into Copperbox – a luxurious development of studio and one bedroom appartments – is almost complete.

And potential owners are being offered a rare opportunity to purchase the properties – developed by SevenCapital – through the Government’s Help to Buy scheme.

The Copperbox development is a mix of 63 apartments across four floors, including eight penthouse apartments on the top floor, which have one bedroom, a private balcony and stunning views of Birmingham.

The former Open University premises is located in a prime spot along Harborne High Street – just along from M&S and popular gastropub The Plough.

The south Birmingham suburb of Harborne was listed as one of the best places to live in the UK 2018 by The Sunday Times due to its range of amenities, including the handy High Street.

Prices for Copperbox properties range from £174,950. But with the Help to Buy scheme they can be purchased with deposits from 5 per cent.

But if you are interested, you will have to be quick – the stunning development is nearly 40 per cent sold already.

Help to Buy now available for the remaining 60 per cent, meaning potential buyers can pay as little as five per cent deposit with a Government top-up loan of up to 20 per cent of the value of the property, providing they can take out a loan on the remaining value.
