This ground-floor one-bedroom flat in Sorrel, Tamworth, suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor looking for an affordable entry into a city-edge market. The layout provides an entrance hall, living room with direct kitchen access, double bedroom and bathroom, plus a small sheltered patio opening onto communal lawn. The property totals about 500 sq ft and carries an EPC C rating.
Internally the flat is dated but sound — timber doors, patterned wallpaper and older floor finishes suggest cosmetic refurbishment will significantly increase appeal and rental income. The block is brick-built (1976–82) with double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Practical costs are low: council tax Band A and combined ground rent/building insurance reported at £226.54 per year. Lease details show 125 years from 12/10/2020 (about 121 years remaining), making tenure secure for mortgage or let purposes. Regular buses reach Tamworth town centre in around 10 minutes; the A5 provides quick commuter access to the M42 and M6 Toll.
Be clear about local context: the area has above-average crime and high deprivation indicators, which can affect tenant demand and long-term capital growth. This property is best for buyers prepared to refurbish to boost rental yield or create a comfortable first home.
