Ground-floor two-bedroom apartment, approx 538 sq ft
This ground-floor, two-bedroom apartment (approx 538 sq ft) offers a straightforward, low-maintenance home or rental asset with a long lease (131 years) and allocated off-street parking. Built in 2009, the flat has a modern kitchen, gas central heating, double glazing and neutral decor throughout — ready to occupy or let with minimal immediate work.
The location suits commuters and renters: Sandwell & Dudley station is within easy reach, local buses serve West Bromwich town centre, and nearby amenities include Lidl, gyms and a wide range of shops and community facilities. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and council tax is inexpensive, supporting good rental demand and manageable running costs.
Important negatives are the property’s small overall size and the local context: the area is classified as very deprived with very high crime levels, which may affect resale values and tenant profiles. Annual outgoings include ground rent of £300 and a service charge (reported around £900 per year). Buyers should factor these, plus the neighbourhood considerations, into any purchase decision.
Overall this is a practical purchase for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance, chain-free flat with long lease security and clear rental potential, provided they are comfortable with the wider area profile.
