Summary - 47 HERBERT ROAD HANDSWORTH BIRMINGHAM B21 9AE
1 bed 1 bath Land
Low-cost redevelopment or storage opportunity near Handsworth transport links.
Freehold small roadside plot with former single-storey garage/outbuilding
Requires full refurbishment or demolition before reuse
Very low asking price reflecting condition and limited footprint
High local crime and very deprived area — factor security costs
Narrow road frontage and small rear yard; limited development scope
Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband connectivity
Suitable for infill redevelopment or storage subject to planning consent
Overgrown, littered site; needs clearance and site security
This small freehold roadside plot in Handsworth offers an affordable entry into inner-city redevelopment. The site comprises a former single-storey garage/outbuilding with brick walls and corrugated metal cladding, a narrow road frontage and a compact yard. It is offered at a low price that reflects its current condition and limited footprint.
The plot is a clear opportunity for an investor or developer comfortable with remediation and planning. The structure is derelict and boarded; the site will need either full refurbishment or demolition before any meaningful reuse. Potential uses include small-scale infill housing, storage, or a single garage/workshop, subject to planning consent.
Buyers should factor in the local context: the area scores high on crime and very high on deprivation, and the immediate plot is overgrown and neglected. That said, practical advantages include freehold tenure, excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and local bus links. Good primary and secondary schools are within reach, which may support residential reuse if permissions allow.
This opportunity suits a hands-on buyer who can manage clearance, secure the site, and navigate planning in a dense urban neighbourhood. The low purchase price reflects significant upfront costs for clearance, repair or redevelopment, so budgeting for demolition, remediation and potential security measures is essential.
