Set on the second floor of a mid‑century block in Handsworth, this two‑bedroom apartment offers a compact, practical layout suitable for first‑time buyers or buy‑to‑let investors. Natural light from large windows, a separate living room and kitchen, plus a garage and communal garden add usable space and appeal in a small footprint (approximately 582 sq ft).
The property is leasehold and carries a high ground rent (£532). Heating is by electric room heaters and the building has double glazing (install date unknown) — both points to consider for running costs and future upgrades. Council tax is very cheap, but the wider area has very high deprivation and above‑average crime, which will affect resale and lettability.
This apartment is best suited to buyers seeking an affordable entry to the Birmingham market or landlords targeting demand for low‑price rental units close to schools and motorway links. The block dates from 1967–75, so there is potential to add value through targeted updates (heating, kitchen, and cosmetic refurbishment). Full checks on the lease length, service charges and any additional fees are recommended before committing.
Viewings are advisable for those wanting a straightforward, low‑cost home or a rental investment with immediate occupancy potential; budget for improvements and factor the neighbourhood profile into any purchase decision.
