Summary - 14, Walker Road, WALSALL WS3 1JZ
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Ideal entry-level purchase with parking and long lease near shops and schools.
Chain free second-floor flat with allocated off-street parking
This second-floor, two-bedroom flat is offered chain free and sits within a modern red-brick development close to local shops, buses and several well-regarded schools. The open-plan living room and kitchen provide a flexible living space suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let landlords seeking straightforward accommodation with long lease security. Allocated off-street parking is included, a practical asset in this area.
Practical running costs include mains gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of B. The lease has about 130 years remaining, offering long-term ownership stability; annual ground rent is around £180 and service charges average £1,900. The flat is compact at roughly 589 sq ft, so it will suit buyers looking for a modest, manageable home rather than a large family property.
Be candid about the local context: the area has high crime and is classed as very deprived, which may affect resale prospects and rental demand. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal average. The block appears well maintained externally, but purchasers should budget for basic decoration or minor updates to tailor the interior to personal taste.
Overall this is a practical, low-maintenance flat with sensible running costs and good local amenities. It represents an accessible entry into the property market or a simple rental opportunity for investors who accept the local market challenges and service charge level.
