A compact two-bedroom ground-floor maisonette in popular Shirley, offered chain-free and with its own private garden. The layout is simple and all on one level: bright lounge, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a family bathroom. At 463 sq ft this is a small home suited to buyers seeking a low-maintenance property or a rental asset.
Important purchase condition: this property is leasehold with a low remaining term requiring CASH BUYERS ONLY. Ground rent is nominal at £20 per annum and the lease will be extended on completion, but buyers should factor lease-related financing limits and legal checks into their decision.
The interior shows mid-20th-century fittings and will suit someone happy to modernise: cosmetic updating and some refurbishment will add value. For investors the small size, garden and Shirley location make it straightforward to let; for owner-occupiers it offers an affordable entry into a well-connected area. Transport links, local shops and several schools (mixed Ofsted results) are within easy reach.
No major flood risk and mobile/broadband provision is strong. Note average local crime and average area deprivation — typical for a major conurbation — and that the property is best suited to buyers able to proceed in cash or with specialist financing for short leases.
