Compact, ready-to-move-in apartment with long lease and communal parking.
Two-bedroom second-floor apartment with en-suite and separate bathroom
A modern two-bedroom second-floor apartment offering immediate possession and a long lease (approx. 104 years). Set on Birmingham New Road, the flat is compact but efficiently laid out with a living room, separate kitchen, main bedroom with en-suite shower and a guest bathroom — suitable for a small family, couple or first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry into the area.
Practical features include double glazing, communal off-street parking and communal grounds. The property is electrically heated with wall-mounted electric heaters and uses electricity as the main fuel; buyers should note this when comparing running costs to gas-heated homes. The apartment is part of a well-kept, contemporary block built c.2003–2006.
Material considerations: the total internal area is small (about 471 sqft) and the recorded service charge is relatively high at £1,908 pa with a ground rent of £100 pa. The building is in a very deprived local area classification with average crime levels — factors that may affect future rental demand or resale. No flood risk is recorded, and the remaining lease term is healthy.
This property will suit someone prioritising affordability and convenience over generous living space — commuters will appreciate good transport links on Birmingham New Road and nearby amenities. Buyers wanting to reduce long-term costs might consider heating upgrades; investors should factor in service charges and local area indicators when modelling yield.
