This two-bedroom end-of-terrace in Smethwick is a compact, low-cost freehold ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. At around 505 sq ft the layout delivers practical living: entrance hall with WC, fitted kitchen, lounge opening to an enclosed rear garden, and two double bedrooms upstairs. The property benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and a driveway with off-street parking for two cars.
The location is convenient for local amenities, schools and public transport, with relatively fast commutes into Birmingham and proximity to the Metropolitan Hospital. Council tax is low (Band B) and the monthly service charge is modest (£87.84 annually shown as £7.32pcm). Constructed in the early 1990s, the house is modern in style and requires only standard upkeep rather than major structural work.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the house is small (505 sq ft) and sits in an area with high crime rates and very high deprivation indices, which will affect resale values and lettings in some market segments. There is an administrative note that the property is part of a larger title and a new title will be created during conveyancing — buyers should let their solicitor check this. The front fence and some external timberwork will need routine maintenance.
Overall, this property suits someone seeking an affordable, move-in-able starter home or a straightforward rental purchase. It offers sensible running costs and convenience, but prospective purchasers should weigh the local area challenges and limited internal space when deciding to view or offer.
