Top-floor two-bedroom apartment in the heart of Harborne village, offered chain-free with a long lease and share of freehold. At about 593 sq ft this compact flat suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a central location close to Harborne High Street, outstanding primary schools and quick access to the Queen Elizabeth Medical Complex and Birmingham University.
The flat benefits from an en-bloc garage, well-kept communal gardens and full double glazing. Practical ownership details include a 113-year lease remaining, an EPC rating of C and a council tax band described as cheap. The property’s layout provides a living/dining room, separate kitchen and two bedrooms — a tidy, liveable home ready for cosmetic updating.
Notable considerations: the development’s average service charge is around £3,000 per year and the area records above-average crime levels. Heating is electric (room heaters recorded in the property data), so running costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. Interiors are dated in places (1970s style living room and traditional kitchen) and the overall footprint is small, so buyers should expect some modernization to maximise resale or rental value.
For a buyer prioritising location, school catchment and low-entry cost into Harborne, this flat offers genuine value: chain-free purchase, long lease and garage parking. Investors will appreciate strong rental demand from nearby university and hospital staff; first-time buyers will value proximity to amenities and highly rated schools, while budgeting for service charges and potential refurbishment.
