This one-bedroom first-floor flat in Tile Hill offers an accessible entry into the Coventry market, suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The apartment benefits from sensible running costs—very low council tax (Band A), a modest ground rent of £10 and a below-average service charge—helping keep ongoing expenses predictable.
The building dates from the mid-20th century and the flat is broadly average-sized at around 527 sq ft. Practical features include a 105-year lease, gas central heating with a 10-year-old boiler, UPVC double glazing (circa 15 years) and a small low-maintenance rear garden with a shed. Travel links, nearby shops, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are close by, making the location practical for everyday living.
The property does need some updating: interior fittings and communal areas are dated and the hallway and rooms would benefit from modernisation. The EPC is expired and has been reordered—an up-to-date rating will be provided. Be aware the local area records higher crime and significant area deprivation, which will be an important consideration for resale or tenancy prospects.
Overall this flat is a pragmatic, affordable option for someone seeking a low-cost entry property with clear scope to add value through cosmetic refurbishment. Investors should factor local market dynamics and the neighbourhood profile into rental assumptions; first-time buyers will appreciate the low running costs and nearby schools but should plan for modernisation work.
