Light-filled second-floor flat with balcony, garage and long lease near universities.
Larger-than-average two-bedroom second-floor flat with balcony
978-year lease from 1999; long-term security for lenders
EWS1 A2 form available (high-rise cladding assessment)
Service charge £400 per quarter (approx. £1,600/year)
No ground rent payable
Residents' off-road parking plus separate garage block
Very high local crime level — investigate security and insurer requirements
System-built 1967–75 construction; likely limited wall insulation, may need upgrading
This larger-than-average two-bedroom flat on the second floor offers a practical, income-friendly layout and long lease security — attractive to investors or buyers needing useful space close to the city. A bright lounge/diner opens onto a balcony with pleasant outlooks; two double bedrooms and a fitted kitchen give rental flexibility for sharers or a small family. The property benefits from an A2 EWS1 rating and a 978-year lease, removing common high-rise financing concerns.
The block sits in well-kept communal grounds with two lifts, residents' off-road parking and a separate garage — useful extras in this area. Transport links are strong: Coventry station and major roads are easily reached, and both Coventry University and the University of Warwick are convenient, supporting consistent tenant demand. Council Tax Band B and no ground rent are further running-cost positives.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: the local recorded crime level is very high, and the building is a 1967–75 system-built construction that may lack wall insulation (assumed). The service charge is £400 per quarter (£1,600 annually), and the interior will suit those who prefer ready-to-live-in or modest updating rather than high-end finishes. Prospective purchasers should check communal condition, heating specification, and building details during survey and valuation.
Overall this is a well-positioned, practical flat with long-lease certainty and good rental potential, best suited to investors, university-linked lodgers, or buyers seeking spacious low-maintenance urban living with straightforward commute links.
