Summary - 10 FLAT 2 DOREEN GROVE BIRMINGHAM B24 9QZ
1 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Compact, gardened flat ideal for first-time buyers or investors seeking value.
One-bedroom first-floor maisonette with private garden
This first-floor one-bedroom maisonette offers a compact, affordable entry into Birmingham’s property market. The flat includes a fitted kitchen, lounge/dining room, family bathroom and a private garden — rare for apartments at this price point. At about 571 sq ft it suits a single buyer, couple or buy-to-let investor wanting straightforward accommodation with modern kitchen fittings.
Practical running costs are reasonable: mains gas central heating, double glazing (installation date unknown), a low ground rent of £10 and a below-average service charge of £240. Transport links are strong with nearby bus routes and two local train stations providing direct links into Birmingham city centre. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach.
Buyers should note material negatives: the property sits in a very deprived area with a high local crime rate, which will affect desirability and rental levels. The building dates from 1930–1949 and walls are likely solid brick with no cavity insulation, so buyers should budget for possible thermal upgrades. The flat is leasehold with roughly 100 years remaining — long enough for mortgage purposes but worth monitoring for future lease extension costs.
Overall, this maisonette is a pragmatic, low-priced opportunity for a first-time buyer or investor prepared to accept neighbourhood challenges and possible retrofit work to improve energy efficiency and long-term value. A viewing is recommended to assess condition and layout in person.
