Three-bedroom third-floor flat with vacant possession and garage
A spacious three-bedroom third-floor flat in Balmoral Court, offered with vacant possession and a garage. The apartment sits in a mid-20th-century block in Kidderminster, within easy reach of local schools, shops and Kidderminster train station — practical for commutes and everyday errands. The lease is long (125 years) with a peppercorn ground rent and a sensible service charge of £200 per quarter (£800 per year).
The accommodation is notably dated and will suit a buyer looking to refurbish rather than move straight in. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the EPC is rated E (potential for improvement to C), so upgrading heating and insulation would reduce running costs and raise value. Broadband speeds are slow, which may affect home-working needs.
Benefits include garage parking, communal gardens and low local crime. Council Tax is in band B, and the area is classified as relatively affluent with good local schools. The flat is attractive to downsizers who want space and security, or to investors willing to modernise for rental demand.
Drawbacks are clear and factual: the property requires updating throughout, has an unimpressive EPC, electric storage heating, and slow broadband. The tenure is leasehold, so purchasers should check lease details, service charge management and any reserve funds before committing.
