Long lease, parking and garden — ideal for a first-time buyer willing to refurbish..
Two double bedrooms, lounge, compact kitchen and bathroom
This first-floor maisonette offers a practical two-double-bedroom layout with a long lease of approximately 130 years and no upward chain — a clear plus for buyers seeking a straightforward purchase. The lounge to the front benefits from a large window and good natural light while the compact kitchen and bathroom provide functional everyday space. Off-street parking and a small private garden add useful outdoor and parking options rarely found with flats.
The property is offered in a basic, largely original condition typical of its 1970s build, so it will suit buyers prepared to refresh finishes and consider modest upgrades. The EPC is rated D and cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so upgrading insulation and heating controls would improve comfort and running costs. Service charges are low (around £40pa) and council tax band B keeps ongoing costs affordable.
Location strengths include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and several well-rated local schools, making this a sensible choice for first-time buyers or young families who value convenience. Note the area records above-average crime, so buyers should factor this into checks and local enquiries. Leasehold details: peppercorn ground rent and an annual inspection fee payable to managing agents — conveyancers should verify.
Overall this maisonette represents an accessible entry point to the Solihull market with clear potential for value gain through targeted refurbishment. It’s best for buyers seeking a manageable home to personalise rather than a move-in-perfect property.
