Summary - ROOSEVELT APARTMENTS, 1 56 LEXINGTON GARDENS BIRMINGHAM B15 2DU
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Long lease, parking and modern open plan living close to central amenities.
Two double bedrooms with master en‑suite and separate shower room
Light-filled, open-plan living and practical layout make this two-bedroom apartment a straightforward entry into city living. The living space opens onto a Juliette balcony, while the master bedroom benefits from an en‑suite; a second shower room serves guests or a flatmate. Allocated off-street parking and a 250‑year lease remove common first‑time buyer worries about tenure and parking.
The building has a passed EWS1 cladding certificate and the apartment sits within walking distance of Birmingham city centre, fast broadband and good mobile signal—useful for home working and commuting. Service charge covers communal maintenance; confirm specifics with your solicitor. The property’s compact, efficient footprint (around 743 sq ft) suits those seeking low‑maintenance, modern living close to shops, transport links and local amenities.
Be clear about the practical drawbacks: heating is electric (room heaters) which can be costly compared with gas, and annual service charge (£2,792) plus ground rent (£300) are material ongoing costs. The wider area scores high for deprivation and recorded local crime is very high, so investigate neighbourhood safety and transport at different times of day. Local schools are mixed in performance; a couple of nearby primaries and secondaries have good ratings but others require improvement.
Overall this apartment is well suited to a first‑time buyer who values a long lease, central location and low‑maintenance modern living, and who is prepared to budget for service charges and electric heating. Investors seeking a central let will note the strong rental demand locally, but should factor in the building charges and local area profile when modelling returns.
