This one-bedroom apartment in Perry Barr Village offers a low-entry route onto the ladder through Shared Ownership — a 40% share from £60,400 with a £1,000 deposit boost promotion. The flat is new-build, with an open-plan living/kitchen, integrated appliances in most units, a private balcony and landscaped communal gardens, making it ready to move into now.
Transport links are a genuine strength: Perry Barr station sits opposite the development and provides a 13-minute rail journey to Birmingham New Street. Local shopping and everyday amenities are immediate — the One Stop shopping centre is directly across the road — which suits first-time buyers, commuters and buy-to-let investors seeking strong rental demand.
Buyers should note material considerations: this is Shared Ownership (rent payable on the unsold share) with an average service charge of about £186 per month (£2,233.56 annually quoted), and there is no allocated on-site parking. The location scores high for deprivation and recorded crime is very high, factors to weigh for long-term lifestyle or tenant attraction.
Overall this apartment suits purchasers prioritising affordability, quick access to Birmingham city centre and modern, low-maintenance living. It offers staircasing potential and investment flexibility, but prospective buyers should check eligibility criteria, running costs (service charge and rent), and local safety statistics before committing.
