This freshly refurbished ground-floor apartment offers a compact, low-maintenance home close to Solihull town centre, the train station and Birmingham Airport. At about 509 sq ft, the layout maximises space with a notably large living room, good-sized double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and useful external storage.
Practical features include gas central heating with a Worcester Bosch boiler, double glazing, private off-street parking, communal gardens and a long lease of approximately 178 years. The property is chain-free and presents immediate rental potential (estimated £895 pcm) or an easy first purchase with low ground rent of £10 per year.
Be aware of some constraints: the kitchen is compact for the size of the flat, and the service charge is £554.72 per year. The apartment sits in an area with above-average recorded crime, so buyers should consider security and insurance costs. EPC rating C and council tax band B are positives for running costs.
Overall this is a sensible buy for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-presented, ready-to-move-in one-bedroom flat in a well-connected location. It offers scope for modest improvement to increase rental income or resale value while keeping day-to-day maintenance straightforward.
