Summary - 14 PEMBROKE WAY BIRMINGHAM B28 9EX
1 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Affordable one-bedroom flat near Shirley High Street and strong transport links.
Chain free first-floor maisonette with 150-year lease remaining
First-time buyers or buy-to-let investors will find clear practical appeal in this chain-free first-floor maisonette on Pembroke Way. The flat occupies about 571 sqft with an open-plan living/dining room, a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a compact kitchen and a bathroom. Its location offers excellent transport links to Birmingham and Solihull, plus walking distance to Shirley High Street and local amenities including Tesco.
The building dates from the 1980s and presents straightforward, usable accommodation rather than period charm. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy bills may be higher than modern standards; buyers should factor potential insulation and heating upgrades into plans. The flat is offered leasehold with 150 years remaining, a modest ground rent of £60 pa and a below-average service charge of £500 pa.
Practical positives include one allocated off-street parking space and a small garden. The accommodation’s layout and size suit a single occupant or couple, and the property’s price and location make it a viable rental investment or an affordable entry onto the market. Essential drawbacks are the electric heating, likely need for improved insulation, and compact kitchen/bathroom sizes — refurbishment could add value but will require additional spend.
