A well-located one-bedroom flat in Moorland Court, just a 10-minute walk from Birmingham city centre, offering straightforward buy-to-let potential. The property sits on the first floor of a mid-20th century block, with a bright living room, separate kitchen with white goods, and a large double bedroom. The long lease (102 years) and chain-free sale make completion straightforward for a landlord or investor.
This apartment benefits from off-street parking, double glazing, and good broadband and mobile coverage, supporting city-centre rental demand. The building sits in leafy Edgbaston surroundings and includes communal access and maintained grounds that add tenant appeal.
Material considerations: the property is leasehold with a significant annual service charge of £3,224 and a peppercorn ground rent. It is being sold by the Modern Method of Auction — purchasers should budget for a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price, minimum £6,600) and review the Buyer Information Pack before bidding. The block’s communal heating is on a community scheme and some building fabric appears to be solid brick with assumed lack of insulation.
Location cautions: the area shows higher crime statistics and local deprivation indicators, which can affect rental values and tenant mix. Prospective buyers should inspect appliances and services themselves (no testing has been provided) and consider potential future costs for maintenance, insulation or upgrades to maximise long-term rental yield.
