A smartly presented, newly renovated two-double-bedroom first-floor apartment set back behind powered gates. The lounge-diner opens to a Juliet balcony, and the fitted kitchen and good-sized bathroom are ready to move into. Allocated off-street parking and zoned electric underfloor heating add everyday convenience for commuters or first-time buyers.
The property sits on the north side of Erdington close to rail and bus connections, local shops, cafes and schools — an easy walk to everyday amenities and links into Sutton Coldfield and central Birmingham. EPC C (78) and double glazing help keep running costs reasonable for an all-electric home.
Important: the flat is currently leasehold with 78 years remaining (99 years from 2004). A 90-year lease extension to 168 years is being completed upon sale, but until that is finalised some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend. Buyers should confirm financing options with their lender and solicitor before committing.
Practical costs to note include an annual service charge of £1,560 (reviewed annually) and a current ground rent of £75, which will convert to a peppercorn after the extension. The area records above-average crime and local deprivation, so buyers should consider location factors alongside the property’s benefits.
